irqchip/jcore-aic: Fix lost IPIs on SMP
Since commit bdf4e2ac295fe ("genirq: Allow per-cpu interrupt sharing for
non-overlapping affinities"), handle_percpu_devid_irq() only runs an
action whose affinity mask contains the current CPU. Only actions set up
through the percpu_devid request functions have such a mask.
handle_jcore_irq() passes every per-CPU interrupt to
handle_percpu_devid_irq(). The J2 IPI is not a percpu_devid interrupt.
j2_prepare_cpus() requests it with request_irq() and IRQF_PERCPU, so its
action has no affinity mask and cpumask_test_cpu() reads through a NULL
pointer. J2 has no MMU to catch this. The read returns whatever is at
address 0, the action is not found, and IPIs are dropped as spurious
("Spurious percpu IRQ20 on CPU1", printed once).
Pass only percpu_devid interrupts (the PIT) to handle_percpu_devid_irq()
and the other per-CPU interrupts to handle_percpu_irq() again, as before
commit d7e3fd658248f ("irqchip/jcore-aic, clocksource/drivers/jcore: Fix
jcore-pit interrupt request").
Found with a two-CPU J2 model simulated from the J-Core RTL. Without
this change the boot stalls with both CPUs idle shortly after
"smp: Brought up 1 node, 2 CPUs". With it, the boot reaches userspace.
Fixes: bdf4e2ac295fe ("genirq: Allow per-cpu interrupt sharing for non-overlapping affinities")
