I managed to miss one of Rob's code reviews on the mailing list
<http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-riscv/2018-August/001139.html>.
The patch has already been merged, so I'm submitting a fixup.
Sorry!

RISC-V Hart-Level Interrupt Controller (HLIC)
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
RISC-V cores include Control Status Registers (CSRs) which are local to each
|
|
CPU core (HART in RISC-V terminology) and can be read or written by software.
|
|
Some of these CSRs are used to control local interrupts connected to the core.
|
|
Every interrupt is ultimately routed through a hart's HLIC before it
|
|
interrupts that hart.
|
|
|
|
The RISC-V supervisor ISA manual specifies three interrupt sources that are
|
|
attached to every HLIC: software interrupts, the timer interrupt, and external
|
|
interrupts. Software interrupts are used to send IPIs between cores. The
|
|
timer interrupt comes from an architecturally mandated real-time timer that is
|
|
controlled via Supervisor Binary Interface (SBI) calls and CSR reads. External
|
|
interrupts connect all other device interrupts to the HLIC, which are routed
|
|
via the platform-level interrupt controller (PLIC).
|
|
|
|
All RISC-V systems that conform to the supervisor ISA specification are
|
|
required to have a HLIC with these three interrupt sources present. Since the
|
|
interrupt map is defined by the ISA it's not listed in the HLIC's device tree
|
|
entry, though external interrupt controllers (like the PLIC, for example) will
|
|
need to define how their interrupts map to the relevant HLICs. This means
|
|
a PLIC interrupt property will typically list the HLICs for all present HARTs
|
|
in the system.
|
|
|
|
Required properties:
|
|
- compatible : "riscv,cpu-intc"
|
|
- #interrupt-cells : should be <1>. The interrupt sources are defined by the
|
|
RISC-V supervisor ISA manual, with only the following three interrupts being
|
|
defined for supervisor mode:
|
|
- Source 1 is the supervisor software interrupt, which can be sent by an SBI
|
|
call and is reserved for use by software.
|
|
- Source 5 is the supervisor timer interrupt, which can be configured by
|
|
SBI calls and implements a one-shot timer.
|
|
- Source 9 is the supervisor external interrupt, which chains to all other
|
|
device interrupts.
|
|
- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, this interrupt-controller MUST be embedded inside the cpu
|
|
definition of the hart whose CSRs control these local interrupts.
|
|
|
|
An example device tree entry for a HLIC is show below.
|
|
|
|
cpu1: cpu@1 {
|
|
compatible = "riscv";
|
|
...
|
|
cpu1-intc: interrupt-controller {
|
|
#interrupt-cells = <1>;
|
|
compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-cpu-intc", "riscv,cpu-intc";
|
|
interrupt-controller;
|
|
};
|
|
};
