The "powered-down" CPU idle mode of Tegra cut off the vdd_cpu rail, it
include the power of GIC. That caused the SGI (Software Generated
Interrupt) been lost. Because the SGI can't wake up the CPU that in
the "powered-down" CPU idle mode. We need to check if there is any
pending SGI when go into "powered-down" CPU idle mode. This is important
especially when applying the coupled cpuidle framework into "power-down"
cpuidle dirver. Because the coupled cpuidle framework may have the
chance that misses IPI_SINGLE_FUNC handling sometimes.

For the PPI or SPI, something like the legacy peripheral interrupt. It
still can be maintained by Tegra legacy interrupt controller. If there
is any pending PPI or SPI when CPU in "powered-down" CPU idle mode. The
CPU can be woken up immediately. So we don't need to take care the same
situation for PPI or SPI.

Is this feature something that can/should be added to the core GIC
driver, rather than something custom in the Tegra code?

Part of the reason I ask is that I'd like to avoid any more:

static void __iomem *distbase = IO_ADDRESS(TEGRA_ARM_INT_DIST_BASE);

since that requires static page tables to be set up, whereas I'd like to
reduce, as much as possible, the set of pages Tegra maps statically.

This function is SoC specific code not a generic common code even I
modify it to more generic for checking the pending irq (SGI, PPI and
SPI). Different SoC had different design about it. For ex, some SoC only
put CPU core to power saving mode not include GIC, or there is another
irq controller can handle the case when CPU go into power saving mode.
Differenc SoC had different usage here (some need to check all pending
irq, some need to check SGI only and some even no need to consider
this).

I can move this into the function as a temp variable.

Thanks,

Hmmm. OK.

Well, the issue here is use of the IO_ADDRESS() macro at all; ioremap()
at run-time would be better, which I imagine is what the core GIC driver
does when intialized from DT. Still, I suppose there are many instance
of IO_ADDRESS() in the mach-tegra directory right now, so adding one
more won't hurt too much; we still need to do a big pass to get rid of
them sometime if possible.
