Replying to this thread again.

Hi Peng,
The commit title is a bit confusing. It suggests that all interrupts should be
deactivated at boot, however you are only deactivating the SGIs.

What do you mean by hardware design? Is it a defect?
The gic-v3 controller is configured with EOImode to 1, so during xen
reboot, GIC_SGI_CALL_FUNCTION interrupt from CPU0 to other CPUs, but
stop_cpu never return, that means other CPUs have no chance to
deactive the interrupt. During xen booting again, CPU0 will issue
GIC_SGI_CALL_FUNCTION to other CPUs. Because GIC_SGI_CALL_FUNCTION of
other CPUs are active during the last reboot, interrupts could not be
triggered unless we deactive the interrupt first.
From the description here, I think it not very sane to go to sleep with an
interrupt activate.
It looks like I was wrong here. There are case where you can't avoid that (see
my answer to your other patch) and the boot code cannot rely on the activate
state of interrupt. So they have to be cleaned at boot.
This also have to be done for PPI and SPIs. Peng, would you mind to do that
patch?
A better solution would be to move the deactivation earlier on in do_sgi (maybe
after eoi_irq) so we call stop_cpu() with all interrupts disabled.
So let's deactive the interrupts during GICv3 initialization to fix
s/deactivate/
this issue.
Similarly to the commit title, you wrote the commit message very generically.

Each ICACTIVER0 registers hold the active bit for 32 interrupts. However, this
code assumes the register only hold 4 interrupts. So this will write to unwanted
area.
There are only 16 SGIs, so it fits in one write to ICACTIVER0. As wrote above,
you also need to deactivate the PPIs. So the following should be enough:
/*
* The activate state is unknown at boot, so make sure all SGIs and PPIs are
* de-activated.
*/
writel_relaxed(0xffffffff, GICD_RDIST_SGI_BASE + GICR_ICACTIVER0);
