The GICv5 architecture defines the guidelines to implement GICv5
compliant interrupt controllers for AArch64 systems.
The GICv5 specification can be found at
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/aes0070
The GICv5 architecture is composed of multiple components:
- one or more IRS (Interrupt Routing Service)
- zero or more ITS (Interrupt Translation Service)
The architecture defines:
- PE-Private Peripheral Interrupts (PPI)
- Shared Peripheral Interrupts (SPI)
- Logical Peripheral Interrupts (LPI)

The 1st cell corresponds to the INTID.Type field in the INTID; 1 for PPI,
3 for SPI. LPI interrupts must not be described in the bindings since
they are allocated dynamically by the software component managing them.
The 2nd cell contains the interrupt INTID.ID field.
The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
1 = low-to-high edge triggered
2 = high-to-low edge triggered
4 = active high level-sensitive
8 = active low level-sensitive

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
- IRQ or DMA behavior appears here, which is relevant to the selected PCIe/NVMe device path.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
