1 * ARM Generic Interrupt Controller
3 ARM SMP cores are often associated with a GIC, providing per processor
4 interrupts (PPI), shared processor interrupts (SPI) and software
5 generated interrupts (SGI).
7 Primary GIC is attached directly to the CPU and typically has PPIs and SGIs.
8 Secondary GICs are cascaded into the upward interrupt controller and do not
11 Main node required properties:
13 - compatible : should be one of:
20 "arm,arm1176jzf-devchip-gic"
21 - interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
22 - #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
23 interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 3.
25 The 1st cell is the interrupt type; 0 for SPI interrupts, 1 for PPI
28 The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type.
29 SPI interrupts are in the range [0-987]. PPI interrupts are in the
32 The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
33 bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
34 1 = low-to-high edge triggered
35 2 = high-to-low edge triggered
36 4 = active high level-sensitive
37 8 = active low level-sensitive
38 bits[15:8] PPI interrupt cpu mask. Each bit corresponds to each of
39 the 8 possible cpus attached to the GIC. A bit set to '1' indicated
40 the interrupt is wired to that CPU. Only valid for PPI interrupts.
42 - reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the GIC registers. The
43 first region is the GIC distributor register base and size. The 2nd region is
44 the GIC cpu interface register base and size.
47 - interrupts : Interrupt source of the parent interrupt controller on
48 secondary GICs, or VGIC maintenance interrupt on primary GIC (see
51 - cpu-offset : per-cpu offset within the distributor and cpu interface
52 regions, used when the GIC doesn't have banked registers. The offset is
55 - arm,routable-irqs : Total number of gic irq inputs which are not directly
56 connected from the peripherals, but are routed dynamically
57 by a crossbar/multiplexer preceding the GIC. The GIC irq
58 input line is assigned dynamically when the corresponding
59 peripheral's crossbar line is mapped.

73 * GIC virtualization extensions (VGIC)
75 For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, additional
76 properties must be described (they only exist if the GIC is the
77 primary interrupt controller).
81 - reg : Additional regions specifying the base physical address and
82 size of the VGIC registers. The first additional region is the GIC
83 virtual interface control register base and size. The 2nd additional
84 region is the GIC virtual cpu interface register base and size.
86 - interrupts : VGIC maintenance interrupt.
