[PATCH 4/4] powerpc/fsl-book3e: enable the external_input_edge exception handler

Enable the external_input_edge exception handler for the fsl ppc64 board when external proxy is enabled. This will leave the irq still hard enabled when a interrupt occurs with irq soft disabled. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao --- arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/corenet_ds.c | 9 - 1 file changed,

[PATCH 1/4] powerpc/book3e: introduce external_input_edge exception handler for 64bit kernel

In the external proxy facility mode, the interrupt is automatically acknowledged with the same effect as reading the IACK register. So this makes external input interrupt more like edge sensitive. That means we can leave the irq hard enabled when it occurs with irq soft disabled just like the dec a

[PATCH 0/4] enable the PACA_IRQ_EE_EDGE support for book3e

Hi, In the current kernel, the external proxy works pretty well with the lazy EE. But it still treat the external input interrupt as level sensitive and would hard disable the irq while a interrupt occurs with irq soft disabled. This patch series enables PACA_IRQ_EE_EDGE support for book3e and wil
