Revision bb143f814ea488769ca2e79e0b376139cb5f134b authored by Vineet Gupta on 23 February 2016, 06:25:16 UTC, committed by Vineet Gupta on 24 February 2016, 05:37:28 UTC
ARConnect/MCIP Inter-Core-Interrupt module can't send interrupt to
local core. So use core intc capability to trigger software
interrupt to self, using an unsued IRQ #21.

This showed up as csd deadlock with LTP trace_sched on a dual core
system. This test acts as scheduler fuzzer, triggering all sorts of
schedulting activity. Trouble starts with IPI to self, which doesn't get
delivered (effectively lost due to H/w capability), but the msg intended
to be sent remain enqueued in per-cpu @ipi_data.

All subsequent IPIs to this core from other cores get elided due to the
IPI coalescing optimization in ipi_send_msg_one() where a pending msg
implies an IPI already sent and assumes other core is yet to ack it.
After the elided IPI, other core simply goes into csd_lock_wait()
but never comes out as this core never sees the interrupt.

Fixes STAR 9001008624
