Summary

This patch adds support for IMSIC on RISCV architecture.
The following features are supported:

  • Interrupt delivery with aplic-imsic
  • Sending IPIs between HARTS without ecall
  • IPIs are sent IMSIC-to-IMSIC

Whats not supported:

  • MSI interrupts from devices.

MSI chosen for IPI is 1 as it has the highest priority.

IPIs over IMSIC can be disabled by "aia.imsic.ipi_disabled=1" kernel parameter.

Test Plan
  • Tested SMP boot with aplic-imsic and aplic-only.
  • Tested from 1 CPU to 16 CPUs

Hi Himanshu what is status of this? could you regenerate for the latest HEAD ?

Hi Ruslan,

This patch (and the latest one I have) depend on D40474 for the correct ordering of initialisation. Do we have any idea on how to close D40474?
I can generate the patch on current HEAD, no problem.

Shall I send a new patch? No comments on this one.

how hard it would be to implement MSI interface here? to support MSI interrupts from devices, which is a crucial functionality

sys/riscv/include/cpufunc.h
60

looks like these macroses used just once in entire code, so we can remove them?

sys/riscv/riscv/aplic.c
646

look like magic numbers all around
