中断的生命周期:
对于电平触发的中断(level-sensitive interrupts)，一个上升沿输入，将中断变成pending，中断信号线保持高电平直到PE断言该中断信号.
对于边沿触发的中断(edge-sensitive interrupts)，一个上升沿输入，将中断变成pending，中断信号线不会保持高电平.

6、gic框架

• Distributor interface
• Redistributor interface
• CPU interface
在这里插入图片描述

Distributor (GICD_*) for SPIs
• Interrupt prioritization and distribution of SPIs
• Enable and disable SPIs
• Set the priority level of each SPI
• Route information for each SPI
• Set each SPI to be level-sensitive or edge-triggered
• Generate message-signaled SPIs
• Control the active and pending state of SPIs
• Determine the programmer’s model that is used in each Security state: affinity routing or legacy

Redistributors (GICR_*)
• Enable and disable SGIs and PPIs
• Set the priority level of SGIs and PPIs
• Set each PPI to be level-sensitive or edge-triggered
• Assign each SGI and PPI to an interrupt group
• Control the state of SGIs and PPIs
• Control the base address for the data structures in memory that support the associated interrupt properties and pending state for LPIs
• Provide power management support for the connected PE

CPU interfaces (ICC_*_ELn)
• Provide general control and configuration to enable interrupt handling
• Acknowledge an interrupt
• Perform a priority drop and deactivation of interrupts
• Set an interrupt priority mask for the PE
• Define the preemption policy for the PE
• Determine the highest priority pending interrupt for the PE

In Arm CoreLink GICv3, the CPU Interface registers are accessed as System registers: ICC_*_ELn.

7、gic Configuring

全局配置
GICD_CTLR.ARE: Enable Affinity routing (ARE bits), 1-使用gicv3 mode，0-使用legacy mode(gicv2 mode). 默认为1
GICD_CTLR.EnableGrp1S
GICD_CTLR.EnableGrp1NS
GICD_CTLR.EnableGrp0

注意在GIC-600 does not support legacy operation

(Redistributor)Settings for each PE
Redistributor中包含了一个GICR_WAKER寄存器，用于记录connected PE的状态是onLine还是offline. 如果让PE变成online，软件则必需这样做：
• Clear GICR_WAKER.ProcessorSleep to 0.
• Poll GICR_WAKER.ChildrenAsleep until it reads 0

如果PE is offline (GICR_WAKER.ProcessorSleep==1)时，来了一个中断target到该PE上，将产一个wake request信号，这个信号连接PE的power controller，该controller将会打开PE。然后PE clear the ProcessorSleep bit

CPU interfaces (ICC_*_ELn)

SRE bit— enable cpu interface
注：有些处理器可能不支持legacy operation，SRE比特位也是固定为1，那么软件就不需要处理该比特了

Set Priority Mask and Binary Point registers
ICC_PMR_EL1、ICC_BPRn_EL1

Set EOI mode （EOI:End of interrupt）
ICC_CTLR_EL1 and ICC_CTLR_EL3

Enable signaling of each interrupt group
ICC_IGRPEN1_EL1 (banked by Security state)
ICC_IGRPEN0_EL1

PE configuration

Routing controls - SCR_EL3 、 HCR_EL2
Interrupt masks - PSTATE
Vector table - VBAR_ELn

interrupt sources configuration

SPIs are configured through the Distributor, using the GICD_* registers.
PPIs and SGIs are configured through the individual Redistributors, using the GICR_* registers

对于每一个中断，软件必需配置的：

Priority: GICD_IPRIORITYn, GICR_IPRIORITYn
Group: GICD_IGROUPn, GICD_IGRPMODn, GICR_IGROUPn, GICR_IGRPMODn
Edge-triggered or level-sensitive: GICD_ICFGRn, GICR_ICFGRn
Enable: GICD_ISENABLERn, GICD_ICENABLER, GICR_ISENABLERn, GICR_ICENABLERn

Setting the target PE for SPIs

GICD_IROUTERn.Interrupt_Routing_Mode == 0 rounting到制定的PE
GICD_IROUTERn.Interrupt_Routing_Mode == 1 Distributor硬件会自动选择一个PE，可以是0-n
A PE can opt out of receiving 1-of-N interrupts. This is controlled by the DPG1S, DPG1NS and DPG0 bits in GICR_CTLR.

Routing a pending interrupt to a PE

Check that the group associated with the interrupt is enabled
Check that the interrupt is enabled
Check the routing controls to decide which PEs can receive the interrupt.
routing is controlled by GICD_IROUTERn，An SPI can target one specific PE, or any one of the connected PEs
Check the interrupt priority and priority mask to decide which PEs are suitable to handle the interrupt
Each PE has a Priority Mask register, ICC_PMR_EL1, in its CPU interface
Check the running priority to decide which PEs are available to handle the interrup
Only an interrupt with a higher priority than the running priority can preempt the current interrupt

软件读取中断号

中断优先级

中断结束End of interrupt

Priority drop - 将中断优先级降到中断产生之前的值
Deactivation - 将中断从active变成inactive

在gicv3中，drop和deactivation通常是一起打开的。

ICC_CTLR_ELn.EOImode = 1: 通过写ICC_EOIR0_EL1、ICC_EOIR1_EL1让drop and deactivation同时生效
ICC_CTLR_ELn.EOImode = 0: 通过写ICC_EOIR0_EL1、ICC_EOIR1_EL1让drop生效，写ICC_DIR_EL1让deactivation生效，这在虚拟化中会用到.

大多数的软件系统中 EOIMode0，而下hypervisor的系统中 EOIMode1

产生SGI中断

PE在secure执行时，可以产生secure和non-secure的SGI;
PE在non-secure执行时，也是可以产生secure的SGI，但是取决于GICR_NSACR寄存器的配置，该寄存器只能在secure中读写
