The GICv5 Interrupt Routing Service (IRS) component implements interrupt management and routing in the GICv5 architecture. A GICv5 system comprises one or more IRSes, that together handle the interrupt routing and state for the system. An IRS supports Shared Peripheral Interrupts (SPIs), that are interrupt sources directly connected to the IRS; they do not rely on memory for storage. The number of supported SPIs is fixed for a given implementation and can be probed through IRS IDR registers. SPI interrupt state and routing are managed through GICv5 instructions. Each core (PE in GICv5 terms) in a GICv5 system is identified with an Interrupt AFFinity ID (IAFFID). An IRS manages a set of cores that are connected to it. Firmware provides a topology description that the driver uses to detect to which IRS a CPU (ie an IAFFID) is associated with. Use probeable information and firmware description to initialize the IRSes and implement GICv5 IRS SPIs support through an SPI-specific IRQ domain. The GICv5 IRS driver: - Probes IRSes in the system to detect SPI ranges - Associates an IRS with a set of cores connected to it - Adds an IRQchip structure for SPI handling SPIs priority is set to a value corresponding to the lowest permissible priority in the system (taking into account the implemented priority bits of the IRS and CPU interface). Since all IRQs are set to the same priority value, the value itself does not matter as long as it is a valid one.

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 reStructuredText 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.
