So far, GICv3 has been used in with EOImode == 0. The effect of this
mode is to perform the priority drop and the deactivation of the
interrupt at the same time.
While this works perfectly for Linux (we only have a single priority),
it causes issues when an interrupt is forwarded to a guest, and when
we want the guest to perform the EOI itself.
For this case, the GIC architecture provides EOImode == 1, where:
- A write to ICC_EOIR1_EL1 drops the priority of the interrupt and
leaves it active. Other interrupts at the same priority level can
now be taken, but the active interrupt cannot be taken again
- A write to ICC_DIR_EL1 marks the interrupt as inactive, meaning
it can now be taken again.
This patch converts the driver to be able to use this new mode,
depending on whether or not the kernel can behave as a hypervisor.
No feature change.
