Revision d178d70080f4691a4a5cb69b116d9b7fba4b5e16 authored by Lukas Wunner on 04 February 2020, 14:50:41 UTC, committed by popcornmix on 13 July 2020, 12:27:17 UTC
[ Upstream commit bd59b343a9c902c522f006e6d71080f4893bbf42 ] Per the spec, the BCM2835's IRQs are all disabled when coming out of power-on reset. Its IRQ driver assumes that's still the case when the kernel boots and does not perform any initialization of the registers. However the Raspberry Pi Foundation's bootloader leaves the USB interrupt enabled when handing over control to the kernel. Quiesce IRQs and the FIQ if they were left enabled and log a message to let users know that they should update the bootloader once a fixed version is released. If the USB interrupt is not quiesced and the USB driver later on claims the FIQ (as it does on the Raspberry Pi Foundation's downstream kernel), interrupt latency for all other peripherals increases and occasional lockups occur. That's because both the FIQ and the normal USB interrupt fire simultaneously: On a multicore Raspberry Pi, if normal interrupts are routed to CPU 0 and the FIQ to CPU 1 (hardcoded in the Foundation's kernel), then a USB interrupt causes CPU 0 to spin in bcm2836_chained_handle_irq() until the FIQ on CPU 1 has cleared it. Other peripherals' interrupts are starved as long. I've seen CPU 0 blocked for up to 2.9 msec. eMMC throughput on a Compute Module 3 irregularly dips to 23.0 MB/s without this commit but remains relatively constant at 23.5 MB/s with this commit. The lockups occur when CPU 0 receives a USB interrupt while holding a lock which CPU 1 is trying to acquire while the FIQ is temporarily disabled on CPU 1. At best users get RCU CPU stall warnings, but most of the time the system just freezes.
