The GIC Redistributor (GICR) structure is part of the Multiple
APIC Description Table (MADT) that enables the discovery of
GIC Redistributor base addresses by providing the Physical Base
Address of a page range containing the GIC Redistributors. More
than one GICR Structure may be presented in the MADT. The GICR
structures should only be used when describing GIC version 3 or
higher.
The GIC Redistributor information is described in the platform
Device Tree, the bindings for which can be found at:
- linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/
arm,gic-v3.yaml
The FdtHwInfoParser implements a GIC Redistributor Parser that
parses the platform Device Tree to create CM_ARM_GIC_REDIST_INFO
objects which are encapsulated in a Configuration Manager
descriptor object and added to the platform information
repository.
The platform Configuration Manager can then utilise this
information when generating the MADT table.
