IMX6-Dual Disable Interrupts

[omarhelmy]

Hello all,

I would like to disable all maskable interrupts in the system so I can enter a critical section safely. I use imx6-dual ARM based board. Is there a certain sequence to disable interrupts ?

Hi Omar

handling inetrrupts is described in arm gic documentation

https://static.docs.arm.com/ihi0048/b/IHI0048B_b_gic_architecture_specification.pdf 

linux general considerations can be found in

Best regards
