      x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternatives · 593f4a78
      Maciej W. Rozycki 提交于
      Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
      for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time.  Remove the
      X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
      apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
      ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum.  Remove
      apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
      Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends.  The use of
      ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
      used it for readability's sake.
      
      I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
      and here it is.  Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
      with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
      "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
      expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
      Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
      it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
      have disregarded it.
      
      I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
      and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
      have left changes to them out.  The option will get removed from them at
      the next run.
      
      Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
      stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
      intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
      everywhere.

      [PATCH] x86: convert bigsmp to use flat physical mode · 1855a2c4
      Ashok Raj 提交于
      When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's
      coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset.  Intel chipsets (at least)
      don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with
      this message.  For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to
      interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform.  When the CPU
      coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical
      flat mode.  For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be
      functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused
      and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing.
      
      The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR
      update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which
      the chipset may be in an inconsistent state.  This patch avoids this
      problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of
      cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
