This is a pretty major implementation change of the GIC driver, but it now handles v3. Unfortunately this is a bit of a revert of some of the code cleanups and whatnot that have happened on mainline, but will try to reapply these momentarily. TODO: -fix arm32 and computation of SGI targets for v3 -Consider removing all of the secure mode stuff which is really complicating things and basically untestable in mainline. -Properly split V2 and V3 into separate files, and have the main gic.c act as a redirector of calls. -Allow both v2 and v3 to compile at the same time. -Make configuration runtime configurable, stop using #define GICBASE and others.
The Little Kernel Embedded Operating System
The LK kernel is an SMP-aware kernel designed for small systems ported to a variety of platforms and cpu architectures.
It is used in a variety of open source and closed source projects, notably the bootloader for a lot of Android phones of various make.
See https://github.com/littlekernel/lk for the latest version.
For comprehensive documentation, see Index.
