[PATCH 3/3] ARCv2: perf: Ensure perf intr gets enabled on all cores

From: Vineet Gupta
Date: Fri Dec 11 2015 - 06:22:44 EST


This was the second perf intr issue

perf sampling on multicore requires intr to be enabled on all cores.
ARC perf probe code used helper arc_request_percpu_irq() which calls
- request_percpu_irq() on core0
- enable_percpu_irq() on all all cores (including core0)

genirq requires that request be made ahead of enable call.
However if perf probe happened on non core0 (observed on a 3.18 kernel),
enable would get called ahead of request, failing obviously and
rendering perf intr disabled on all such cores

[ 11.120000] 1 ARC perf : 8 counters (48 bits), 113 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]
[ 11.130000] 1 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 3 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 2 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 0 =====> request_percpu_irq() IRQ 20
[ 11.140000] 0 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20

Fix this fragility, by calling request_percpu_irq() on whatever core
calls probe (there is no requirement on which core calls this anyways)
and then calling enable on each cores.

Interestingly this started as invesigation of STAR 9000838902:
"sporadically IRQs enabled on perf prob"

which was about occassional boot spew as request_percpu_irq got called
non-locally (from an IPI), and re-enabled interrupts in following path
proc_mkdir -> spin_unlock_irq()

which the irq work code didn't like.
