commit b0344d6854d25a8b3b901c778b1728885dd99007 upstream.
It was observed on Broadcom devices that use GIC v3 architecture L1
interrupt controllers as the parent of brcmstb-l2 interrupt controllers
that the deactivation of the parent interrupt could happen before the
brcmstb-l2 deasserted its output. This would lead the GIC to reactivate the
interrupt only to find that no L2 interrupt was pending. The result was a
spurious interrupt invoking handle_bad_irq() with its associated
messaging. While this did not create a functional problem it is a waste of
cycles.
The hazard exists because the memory mapped bus writes to the brcmstb-l2
registers are buffered and the GIC v3 architecture uses a very efficient
system register write to deactivate the interrupt.
Add a write memory barrier prior to invoking chained_irq_exit() to
introduce a dsb(st) on those systems to ensure the system register write
cannot be executed until the memory mapped writes are visible to the
system.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
