[ Upstream commit 7013654af694f6e1a2e699a6450ea50d309dd0e5 ] Clear the MSI bit in ISTATUS_LOCAL register after reading it, but before reading and handling individual MSI bits from the ISTATUS_MSI register. This avoids a potential race where new MSI bits may be set on the ISTATUS_MSI register after it was read and be missed when the MSI bit in the ISTATUS_LOCAL register is cleared. ISTATUS_LOCAL is a read/write/clear register; the register's bits are set when the corresponding interrupt source is activated. Each source is independent and thus multiple sources may be active simultaneously. The processor can monitor and clear status bits. If one or more ISTATUS_LOCAL interrupt sources are active, the RootPort issues an interrupt towards the processor (on the AXI domain). Bit 28 of this register reports an MSI has been received by the RootPort. ISTATUS_MSI is a read/write/clear register. Bits 31-0 are asserted when an MSI with message number 31-0 is received by the RootPort. The processor must monitor and clear these bits. Effectively, Bit 28 of ISTATUS_LOCAL informs the processor that an MSI has arrived at the RootPort and ISTATUS_MSI informs the processor which MSI (in the range 0 - 31) needs handling.

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.
