      [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!
