The GIC irqchips can now use a HW resend when a retrigger is invoked by check_irq_resend(). However, should the HW resend fail, check_irq_resend() will still attempt to trigger a SW resend, which is still a bad idea for the GICs. Prevent this from happening by setting IRQD_HANDLE_ENFORCE_IRQCTX on all GIC IRQs. Technically per-cpu IRQs do not need this, as their flow handlers never set IRQS_PENDING, but this aligns all IRQs wrt context enforcement: this also forces all GIC IRQ handling to happen in IRQ context (as defined by in_irq()).

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.
