While digging around IRQCHIP_EOI_IF_HANDLED and irq/resend.c, it has come to my attention that the IRQ resend situation seems a bit precarious for the GIC(s). When marking an IRQ with IRQS_PENDING, handle_fasteoi_irq() will bail out and issue an irq_eoi(). Should the IRQ in question be re-enabled, check_irq_resend() will trigger a SW resend, which will go through the flow handler again and issue *another* irq_eoi() on the *same* IRQ activation. This is something the GIC spec clearly describes as a bad idea: any EOI must match a previous ACK. Implement irq_chip.irq_retrigger() for the GIC chips by setting the GIC pending bit of the relevant IRQ. After being called by check_irq_resend(), this will eventually trigger a *new* interrupt which we will handle as usual.

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.
