So if I understand correctly, this IRQ line isn't visible
from outside this chip, we're just trying to wire together
two internal components of the chip? If so, I agree that
this seems a better way than creating a named GPIO that
we then have to document as a "not really an external
connection, don't try to use this" line. (We've done that
before I think in other devices, and it works but it's
a bit odd-looking.)

That said, I do notice that the via_isa_request_i8259_irq()
function doesn't do anything except pass the level onto
another qemu_irq, so I think the theoretical ideal would be
if we could arrange to plumb things directly through rather
than needing this extra qemu_irq and function. There's
probably a reason (order of device creation/connection?)
that doesn't work though.

Philippe tried that before but was found not working. There's some history 
that I don't remember aby more in commit 38200011319b58.

It's basically wiring up the 8259 PIC (ISA) IRQs which aren't implemented using qdev 
gpios to an internal IRQ handler.

If the 8259 PIC (ISA) IRQs were already converted to qdev gpios, then presumably 
using a qdev gpio would be the correct solution for this? I'm conscious that if we do 
decide to introduce another method for wiring IRQs then there should be clear 
criteria for developers and reviewers as to which method is appropriate for each use 
case.


ATB,

Mark.

Actally it is, in the form of the INTR pin. Assuming similar naming conventions in vt82xx and piix, one can confirm this by consulting the piix4 datasheet, "Figure 5. Interrupt Controller Block Diagram". Moreover, the pegasos2 schematics (linked in the QEMU documentation) suggest that this pin is actually used there, although not modeled in QEMU. Compare this to how the "intr" pin is exposed by the piix4 device model and wired in the Malta board.

I think there could be a general pattern of device creation/connection which I've outlined here: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/0FFB5FD2-08CE-4CEC-9001-E7AC24407A44@gmail.com/

Rename s/i8259/intr/ to match the pin name of the chip? Same for commit message and subject.

For consistency with piix4 it might be cleaner to export the pin. Though not need at the moment since it has no users.

With the renaming applied:

Well, QEMU does actually wire the intr pin in the pegasos2 board code, except that it isn't a named gpio like in piix4. If we allow this pin to be wired before the south bridge's realize we might be able to eliminate the "intermediate irq forwarder" as Phil used to name it, resulting in less and more efficient code. This solution would basically follow the pattern I outlined under below link.

The INTR pin corresponds to qemu_irq cpu_intr not the i8259_irq.

I could make that named to make it clearer, now it's the only output gpio 
so did not name it as usually devices that only have one output don't use 
named gpios for that.

I think the problem here is that i8259 does not provide an output gpio for 
this interrupt that the VT82xx could pass on but instead i8259_init() 
needs a qemu_irq to be passed rhat the i8259 model will set. This seems to 
be a legacy init function so the fix may be to Qdev-ify i8259 and add an 
output irq to it then its users could instantiate and connect its IRQs as 
usual and we don't need to create a qemu_irq to pass it to i8259_init().

I've implemented the approach avoiding the intermediate IRQ forwarders here: https://github.com/shentok/qemu/commits/upstream/vt82c686-irq/ . I'd send this series to the list as soon as I resolve some email authentication issues.

This connects the gpio out before the device is realized. I don't think 
that's the right fix and confuses all the users of this device as they 
will need to remember to do this. I think the current interrupt forwarder 
is OK until i8259 is Qdev-ified and solves this within the device. I'm OK 
with the patch that makes intr named if you can submit just that.
