Hi Daniel,

In the next changes, we track the interrupts but we discard the timers as
that does not make sense. The next interrupt on a timer is predictable.
Sorry, but I could not parse this.

Please Cc myself and Will Deacon when modifying the arm_pmu driver, as
per MAINTAINERS. I only spotted this patch by chance.

This conflicts with arm_pmu changes I have queued for v4.12 [1].

So, can we leave the prototype of request_percpu_irq() as-is?

Why not add a new request_percpu_irq_flags() function, and leave
request_percpu_irq() as a wrapper for that? e.g.

static inline int
request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
		   const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id)
{
	return request_percpu_irq_flags(irq, handler, devname,
					percpu_dev_id, 0);
}

... that would avoid having to touch any non-timer driver for now.

[...]
-request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,

+request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, unsigned long flags,
+		   irq_handler_t handler,  const char *devname,
+		   void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
 
Looking at request_irq, the prototype is:

int __must_check
request_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
	    unsigned long flags, const char *name,
	    void *dev);

... surely it would be better to share the same argument order? i.e.

int __must_check
request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
		   unsigned long flags, const char *devname,
		   void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);

Thanks,
Mark.
