Aniruddha Banerjee 439e8b2dca irqchip/gic: Take lock when updating irq type
commit aa08192a25 upstream.

Most MMIO GIC register accesses use a 1-hot bit scheme that
avoids requiring any form of locking. This isn't true for the
GICD_ICFGRn registers, which require a RMW sequence.

Unfortunately, we seem to be missing a lock for these particular
accesses, which could result in a race condition if changing the
trigger type on any two interrupts within the same set of 16
interrupts (and thus controlled by the same CFGR register).

Introduce a private lock in the GIC common comde for this
particular case, making it cover both GIC implementations
in one go.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
