Revision a3287c41ff405025bc57b165a0f6cd698bbbc1be authored by Will Deacon on 25 July 2017, 15:30:34 UTC, committed by Will Deacon on 27 July 2017, 12:43:22 UTC
Since the PMU register interface is banked per CPU, CPU PMU interrrupts
cannot be handled by a CPU other than the one with the PMU asserting the
interrupt. This means that migrating PMU SPIs, as we do during a CPU
hotplug operation doesn't make any sense and can lead to the IRQ being
disabled entirely if we route a spurious IRQ to the new affinity target.

This has been observed in practice on AMD Seattle, where CPUs on the
non-boot cluster appear to take a spurious PMU IRQ when coming online,
which is routed to CPU0 where it cannot be handled.

This patch passes IRQF_PERCPU for PMU SPIs and forcefully sets their
affinity prior to requesting them, ensuring that they cannot
be migrated during hotplug events. This interacts badly with the DB8500
erratum workaround that ping-pongs the interrupt affinity from the handler,
so we avoid passing IRQF_PERCPU in that case by allowing the IRQ flags
to be overridden in the platdata.
