This patch aims to fix the GIC register ranges for Amlogic T7 SoC family.
- Context
Kernel log shows a warning about GIC
[ 0.000000] GIC: GICv2 detected, but range too small and irqchip.gicv2_force_probe not set
Using cat /proc/interrupts command shows GIC as GIC-0
Adding some peripherals sometimes causes hangs on interrupts.
- According to the GIC-400 ARM doc, the memory map is like:
0x1000-0x1FFF Distributor
0x2000-0x3FFF CPU interfaces
0x4000-0x5FFF Virtual interface control block
0x6000-0x7FFF Virtual CPU interfaces
- Identify GIC model from distributor register
Offset | Name | Type | Reset
0x008 | GICD_IIDR | RO | 0x0200143B
kvim4# md.l 0xFFF01008 1
fff01008:
0200143b
- Identify CPU interface from CPU interface register
Offset | Name | Type | Reset
0x00FC | GICC_IIDR | RO | 0x0202143B
kvim4# md.l 0xFFF020FC 1
fff020fc:
0202143b
- Virtual interface control register check
Offset | Name | Type | Reset
0x004 | GICH_VTR | RO | 0x90000003
kvim4# md.l 0xFFF04004 1
fff04004:
90000003
- Virtual CPU interfaces check
Offset | Name | Type | Reset
0x00FC | GICV_IIDR | RO | 0x0202143B
kvim4# md.l 0xFFF060FC 1
fff060fc:
0202143b
- After this patch there is no warning anymore.
GICv2 is correctly identified.
[ 0.000000] GIC: Using split EOI/Deactivate mode
Using cat /proc/interrupts command shows GIC as GICv2
