[Qemu-arm] [PATCH 4/4] hw/arm/virt: Don't incorrectly claim architectural timer to be edge-triggered |
Date: |
Fri, 9 Dec 2016 16:30:20 +0000 |
The architectural timers in ARM CPUs all have level triggered interrupts
(unless you're using KVM on a host kernel before 4.4, which misimplemented
them as edge-triggered).
We were incorrectly describing them in the device tree as edge triggered.
This can cause problems for guest kernels in 4.8 before rc6:
* pre-4.8 kernels ignore the values in the DT
* 4.8 before rc6 write the DT values to the GIC config registers
* newer than rc6 ignore the DT and insist that the timer interrupts
are level triggered regardless
Fix the DT so we're describing reality. For backwards-compatibility
purposes, only do this for the virt-2.9 machine onward.
