There is a number of cases where a kernel subsystem may want to
introspect the state of an interrupt at the irqchip level:

- When a peripheral is shared between virtual machines, its interrupt
  state becomes part of the guest's state, and must be switched accordingly.
  KVM on arm/arm64 requires this for its guest-visible timer
- Some GPIO controllers seem to require peeking into the interrupt controller
  they are connected to to report their internal state

This seem to be a pattern that is common enough for the core code to try and
support this without too many horrible hacks. Introduce a pair of accessors
(irq_get_irqchip_state/irq_set_irqchip_state) to retrieve the bits that can
be of interest to another subsystem: pending, active, and masked.

- irq_get_irqchip_state returns the state of the interrupt according to a
  state parameter set to IRQCHIP_STATE_PENDING, IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE
  or IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED.
- irq_set_irqchip_state sets the state of the interrupt according to
  a similar state.

Agreed, this makes a lot of sense. Will respin it.

Thanks,

I'd like to know exactly what this means, for GPIO. As mentioned in
conversation with Arnd, there is since before the case where a GPIO
irqchip gets its irqs "stolen" by some other hardware that is in the
always-on domain, and I call these "latent irqs".

There is a third usecase here since ages (pre-git) in
arch/arm/mach-integrator/integrator_cp.c:

/*
 * It seems that the card insertion interrupt remains active after
 * we've acknowledged it.  We therefore ignore the interrupt, and
 * rely on reading it from the SIC.  This also means that we must
 * clear the latched interrupt.
 */
static unsigned int mmc_status(struct device *dev)
{
        unsigned int status = readl(__io_address(0xca000000 + 4));
        writel(8, intcp_con_base + 8);

        return status & 8;
}

static struct mmci_platform_data mmc_data = {
        .ocr_mask       = MMC_VDD_32_33|MMC_VDD_33_34,
        .status         = mmc_status,
        .gpio_wp        = -1,
        .gpio_cd        = -1,
};

This just goes in and peeks around in the Integrator SIC, this
patch would solve also this I think. Or are the added calls good
for clearing the latched IRQ too?

It looks like a slightly different issue:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/397657/

Basically, the GPIO chip cannot report its own state, and has to
introspect the parent irqchip to find out.

Pretty funky. You could also use this to clear the pending bit (assuming
there is one on the CP). I'm amazed at the number of similar hacks that
are coming out of the wood now...

Thanks,

That's incidentally the same problem as in the Integrator/CP,
wowsers. What goes around comes around.

Yeah we should have fixed this with the Integrator in 2001 or so.
Not too late anyways, let's clean it out now :)

Any update on this? I have a couple of drivers on the way that needs
this (querying level of an interrupt line).
