[PATCH v6 0/7] RISC-V IPI Improvements

[Anup Patel]

This series aims to improve IPI support in Linux RISC-V in following ways:
 1) Treat IPIs as normal per-CPU interrupts instead of having custom RISC-V
    specific hooks. This also makes Linux RISC-V IPI support aligned with
    other architectures.
 2) Remote TLB flushes and icache flushes should prefer local IPIs instead
    of SBI calls whenever we have specialized hardware (such as RISC-V AIA
    IMSIC and RISC-V SWI) which allows S-mode software to directly inject
    IPIs without any assistance from M-mode runtime firmware.

These patches were originally part of the "Linux RISC-V ACLINT Support"
series but this now a separate series so that it can be merged independently
of the "Linux RISC-V ACLINT Support" series.
(Refer, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211007123632.697666-1-anup.patel@wdc.com/)

These patches are also a preparatory patches for the up-coming:
 1) Linux RISC-V AIA support
 2) KVM RISC-V TLB flush improvements
 3) Linux RISC-V SWI support

These patches can also be found in riscv_ipi_imp_v6 branch at:

Changes since v5:
 - Rebased on Linux-5.18-rc3
 - Used kernel doc style in PATCH3
 - Removed redundant loop in ipi_mux_process() of PATCH3
 - Removed "RISC-V" prefix form ipi_mux_chip.name of PATCH3
 - Removed use of "this patch" in PATCH3 commit description
 - Addressed few other nit comments in PATCH3

Changes since v4:
 - Rebased on Linux-5.17
 - Includes new PATCH3 which adds mechanism to multiplex a single HW IPI

Changes since v3:
 - Rebased on Linux-5.17-rc6
 - Updated PATCH2 to not export riscv_set_intc_hwnode_fn()
 - Simplified riscv_intc_hwnode() in PATCH2

Changes since v2:
 - Rebased on Linux-5.17-rc4
 - Updated PATCH2 to not create synthetic INTC fwnode and instead provide
   a function which allows drivers to directly discover INTC fwnode

Changes since v1:
 - Use synthetic fwnode for INTC instead of irq_set_default_host() in PATCH2

Anup Patel (7):
  RISC-V: Clear SIP bit only when using SBI IPI operations
  irqchip/riscv-intc: Allow drivers to directly discover INTC hwnode
  genirq: Add mechanism to multiplex a single HW IPI
  RISC-V: Treat IPIs as normal Linux IRQs
  RISC-V: Allow marking IPIs as suitable for remote FENCEs
  RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote TLB flush when possible
  RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote icache flush when possible
