genirq: Provide generic hwirq allocation facility Not really the solution to the problem, but at least it confines the mess in the core code and allows to get rid of the create/destroy_irq variants from hell, i.e. 3 implementations with different semantics plus the x86 specific variants __create_irqs and create_irq_nr which have been invented in another circle of hell. x86 : x86 should be converted to irq domains and I'm deliberately making it impossible to do the multi-vector MSI support by adding more crap to the current mess. It's not that hard to do and I'm really tired of the trainwrecks which have been invented by baindaid engineering so far. Any attempt to do multi-vector MSI or ioapic hotplug without converting to irq domains is NAKed hereby. tile: Might use irq domains as well, but it has a very limited interrupt space, so handling it via this functionality might be the right thing to do even in the long run. ia64: That's an hopeless case, as I doubt that anyone has the stomach to rewrite the homebrewn dynamic allocation facilities. I stared at it for a couple of hours and gave up. The create/destroy_irq mess could be made private to itanic right away if there wouldn't be the iommu/dmar driver being shared with x86. So to do that I'm going to add a separate ia64 specific implementation later in order not to deep-six itanic right away.

This option will show the mapping relationship between hardware irq
numbers and Linux irq numbers. The mapping is exposed via debugfs
in the file "irq_domain_mapping".
If you don't know what this means you don't need it.
# Support forced irq threading
genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If "threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no impact in the interrupt hotpath. Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded. Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt handling into thread context. When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

bool "Support sparse irq numbering" if MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ
---help---
Sparse irq numbering is useful for distro kernels that want
to define a high CONFIG_NR_CPUS value but still want to have
low kernel memory footprint on smaller machines.
( Sparse irqs can also be beneficial on NUMA boxes, as they spread
out the interrupt descriptors in a more NUMA-friendly way. )
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
