[RFC PATCH v2 7/7] arm64: irqflags: Automatically identify I bit mis-management

Daniel Thompson daniel.thompson at linaro.org
Mon Sep 14 06:26:21 PDT 2015


This is self-test code to identify circumstances where the I bit is
set by hardware but no software exists to copy its state to the PMR.

I don't really expect this patch to be retained much after the RFC stage.
However I have included it in this RFC series to document the testing I
have done and to allow further testing under different workloads.
