John reported that on a RK3288 system the perf per CPU interrupts are all
affine to CPU0 and provided the analysis:
"It looks like what happens is that because the interrupts are not per-CPU
in the hardware, armpmu_request_irq() calls irq_force_affinity() while
the interrupt is deactivated and then request_irq() with IRQF_PERCPU |
IRQF_NOBALANCING.
Now when irq_startup() runs with IRQ_STARTUP_NORMAL, it calls
irq_setup_affinity() which returns early because IRQF_PERCPU and
IRQF_NOBALANCING are set, leaving the interrupt on its original CPU."
This was broken by the recent commit which blocked interrupt affinity
setting in hardware before activation of the interrupt. While this works in
general, it does not work for this particular case. As contrary to the
initial analysis not all interrupt chip drivers implement an activate
callback, the safe cure is to make the deferred interrupt affinity setting
at activation time opt-in.
Implement the necessary core logic and make the two irqchip implementations
for which this is required opt-in. In hindsight this would have been the
right thing to do, but ...

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.
