This doesn't look right -- if s->priority is zero then we'll read off
the beginning of the array.
What's the actual bug you're trying to fix here?


The bug is that when, for example, interrupt 4 triggers the VECTADDR of
interrupt 5 is returned by pl190_read().

Each s->prio_mask entry contains the interrupt mask for all *higher*
priority interrupts, see pl190_update_vectors(). This means that
s->prio_mask[0] is always zero (as zero is the highest priority),
s->priority can never be  zero as ((s->level | s->soft_level) &
s->prio_mask[0]) is always zero.

Therefore after the for loop in pl190_read() i is the index of the
current highest priority interrupt + 1.

Yes, looking more closely, you're right (though that's not obvious
at all...)

But we set s->priority to i, which seems wrong -- s->priority should
be the priority of the current active interrupt, and that's how we
treat it in pl190_update() [we assert s->irq if there's a pending
interrupt that's higher priority than the one we're currently servicing.]

So I think the fix ought to be to change the s->prio_mask[i] in the
loop to be s->prio_mask[i+1] instead. Then we'll exit the loop with
i as the current highest priority interrupt, which is what the following
code expects.

Some sort of explanatory comment in the loop might also assist
future readers :-)

I agree, that's a better solution - I'll follow up with a new patch.

Brendan.
