Daniel Drake 6afb10267c pinctrl/amd: fix masking of GPIO interrupts
On Asus laptop models X505BA, X505BP, X542BA and X542BP, the i2c-hid
touchpad (using a GPIO for interrupts) becomes unresponsive after a
few minutes of usage, or after placing two fingers on the touchpad,
which seems to have the effect of queuing up a large amount of input
data to be transferred.

When the touchpad is in unresponsive state, we observed that the GPIO
level-triggered interrupt is still at it's active level, however the
pinctrl-amd driver is not receiving/dispatching more interrupts at this
point.

After the initial interrupt arrives, amd_gpio_irq_mask() is called
however we then see amd_gpio_irq_handler() being called repeatedly for
the same irq; the interrupt mask is not taking effect because of the
following sequence of events:
 - amd_gpio_irq_handler fires, reads and caches pin reg
 - amd_gpio_irq_handler calls generic_handle_irq()
 - During IRQ handling, amd_gpio_irq_mask() is called and modifies pin reg
 - amd_gpio_irq_handler clears interrupt by writing cached value

The stale cached value written at the final stage undoes the masking.
Fix this by re-reading the register before clearing the interrupt.

I also spotted that the interrupt-clearing code can race against
amd_gpio_irq_mask() / amd_gpio_irq_unmask(), so add locking there.
Presumably this race was leading to the loss of interrupts.

After these changes, the touchpad appears to be working fine.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
