irq_domain/powerpc: Use common irq_domain structure instead of irq_host

2012-02-14T21:06:50+00:00

This patch drops the powerpc-specific irq_host structures and uses the common irq_domain strucutres defined in linux/irqdomain.h. It also fixes all the users to use the new structure names. Renaming irq_host to irq_domain has been discussed for a long time, and this patch is a step in the process of generalizing the powerpc virq code to be usable by all architecture. An astute reader will notice that this patch actually removes the irq_host structure instead of renaming it. This is because the irq_domain structure already exists in include/linux/irqdomain.h and has the needed data members.

powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor vmpic driver

2011-06-27T13:30:26+00:00

The Freescale ePAPR reference hypervisor provides interrupt controller services via a hypercall interface, instead of emulating the MPIC controller. This is called the VMPIC. The ePAPR "virtual interrupt controller" provides interrupt controller services for external interrupts. External interrupts received by a partition can come from two sources: - Hardware interrupts - hardware interrupts come from external interrupt lines or on-chip I/O devices. - Virtual interrupts - virtual interrupts are generated by the hypervisor as part of some hypervisor service or hypervisor-created virtual device. Both types of interrupts are processed using the same programming model and same set of hypercalls. Signed-off-by: Ashish Kalra Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala
