commit aa08192a25 upstream.
Most MMIO GIC register accesses use a 1-hot bit scheme that
avoids requiring any form of locking. This isn't true for the
GICD_ICFGRn registers, which require a RMW sequence.
Unfortunately, we seem to be missing a lock for these particular
accesses, which could result in a race condition if changing the
trigger type on any two interrupts within the same set of 16
interrupts (and thus controlled by the same CFGR register).
Introduce a private lock in the GIC common comde for this
particular case, making it cover both GIC implementations
in one go.

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.
