[PATCH v3 2/2] genirq: fasteoi supports resend on concurrent invoke

From: James Gowans

... and enable that functionality for GIC-v3 only.

Update the generic handle_fasteoi_irq to cater for the case when the
next interrupt comes in while the previous handler is still running.
Currently when that happens the irq_may_run() early out causes the next
IRQ to be lost. Support marking the interrupt as pending when that
happens so that the interrupt can be resent just before
handle_fasteoi_irq returns. This is largely inspired by
handle_edge_irq.

Generally it should not be possible for the next interrupt to arrive
while the previous handler is still running: the CPU will not preempt an
interrupt with another from the same source or same priority. However,
there is a race: if the interrupt affinity is changed while the previous
handler is running, then the next interrupt can arrive at a different
CPU while the previous handler is still running. In that case there will
be a concurrent invoke and the early out will be taken.

For example:

CPU 0 | CPU 1
-----------------------------|-----------------------------
interrupt start |
handle_fasteoi_irq | set_affinity(CPU 1)
handler |
... | interrupt start
... | handle_fasteoi_irq -> early out
handle_fasteoi_irq return | interrupt end
interrupt end |

This issue was observed specifically on an arm64 system with a GIC-v3
handling MSIs via LPI; GIC-v3 uses the handle_fasteoi_irq handler. The
issue is that the GIC-v3's physical LPIs do not have a global active
state. If LPIs had an active state, then it would not be able to be
retriggered until the first CPU had issued a deactivation. Without this
global active state, when the affinity is change the next interrupt can
be triggered on the new CPU while the old CPU is still running the
handler from the previous interrupt.

Implementation notes:

It is believed that it's NOT necessary to mask the interrupt in
handle_fasteoi_irq() the way that handle_edge_irq() does. This is
because handle_edge_irq() caters for controllers which are too simple to
gate interrupts from the same source, so the kernel explicitly masks the
interrupt if it re-occurs [0].

The resend on concurrent invoke logic is gated by a flag which the
interrupt controller can set if it's susceptible to this problem. It is
not desirable to resend unconditionally: a wake up source for example
has no need to be re-sent.
