[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 21/23] hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Work around Linux assuming


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 21/23] hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Work around Linux assuming interrupts are group 1
Date: Mon, 9 May 2016 18:29:47 +0100

The Linux kernel's GICv3 driver assumes that all interrupts are in
group 1. This is correct if the system supports the Security extensions,
because in that case the kernel cannot configure the interrupts and
it must have been done already by firmware. However if the system does
not support the Security extensions then the kernel is perfectly capable
of configuring them into group 1 itself if it wants them there; it
just doesn't.

Work around this by having the GICv3 emulation put all the interrupts
into group 1 if we're directly booting a Linux kernel, whether the
Security extensions are supported or not.
