Anup Patel cc9f04f9a8 irqchip/sifive-plic: Implement irq_set_affinity() for SMP host
Currently on SMP host, all CPUs take external interrupts routed via
PLIC. All CPUs will try to claim a given external interrupt but only
one of them will succeed while other CPUs would simply resume whatever
they were doing before. This means if we have N CPUs then for every
external interrupt N-1 CPUs will always fail to claim it and waste
their CPU time.

Instead of above, external interrupts should be taken by only one CPU
and we should have provision to explicitly specify IRQ affinity from
kernel-space or user-space.

This patch provides irq_set_affinity() implementation for PLIC driver.
It also updates irq_enable() such that PLIC interrupts are only enabled
for one of CPUs specified in IRQ affinity mask.

With this patch in-place, we can change IRQ affinity at any-time from
user-space using procfs.

Example:

/ # cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3
  8:         44          0          0          0  SiFive PLIC   8  virtio0
 10:         48          0          0          0  SiFive PLIC  10  ttyS0
IPI0:        55        663         58        363  Rescheduling interrupts
IPI1:         0          1          3         16  Function call interrupts

 10:        160          0         17          0  SiFive PLIC  10  ttyS0
IPI0:        68        693         77        410  Rescheduling interrupts
IPI1:         0          2          3         16  Function call interrupts

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
