2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ mp_register_ioapic() From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@xxxxxxxxx> Lin Bao reported that one of the HP platforms failed to boot 2.6.32 kernel, when the BIOS enabled interrupt-remapping and x2apic before handing over the control to the Linux kernel. During boot, Linux kernel masks all the interrupt sources (8259, IO-APIC RTE's), setup the interrupt-remapping hardware with the OS controlled table and unmasks the 8259 interrupts but not the IO-APIC RTE's (as the newly setup interrupt-remapping table and the IO-APIC RTE's are not yet programmed by the kernel). Shortly after this, IO-APIC RTE's and the interrupt-remapping table entries are programmed based on the ACPI tables etc. So the expectation is that any interrupt during this window will be dropped and not see the intermediate configuration. In the reported problematic case, BIOS has configured the IO-APIC in virtual wire-B mode. Between the window of the kernel setting up new interrupt-remapping table and the IO-APIC RTE's are properly configured, an interrupt gets routed by the IO-APIC RTE (setup by the virtual wire-B configuration) and sees the empty interrupt-remapping table entry, resulting in vt-d fault causing the platform to generate NMI. And the OS panics on this unexpected NMI. This problem doesn't happen with more recent kernels and closer look at the 2.6.32 kernel shows that the code which masks the IO-APIC RTE's is not working as expected as the nr_ioapic_registers for each IO-APIC is not yet initialized at this point. In the later kernels we initialize nr_ioapic_registers much before and everything works as expected. For 2.6.[32..34] kernels, fix this issue by initializing nr_ioapic_registers early in mp_register_ioapic() [ Relevant upstream commit info: commit 7716a5c4ff5f1f3dc5e9edcab125cbf7fceef0af Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 30 01:07:12 2010 -0700 x86, ioapic: Move nr_ioapic_registers calculation to mp_register_ioapic. As the upstream commit depends on quite a few prior commits and some followup fixes in the mainline, we just picked the smallest relevant hunk for fixing the issue at hand. Problematic platform uses ACPI for IO-APIC, VT-d enumeration etc and this hunk only touches the ACPI based platforms. nr_ioapic_reigsters initialization in enable_IO_APIC() is still retained, so that other configurations like legacy MPS table based enumeration etc works with no change. ] Reported-and-tested-by: Zhang, Lin-Bao <linbao.zhang@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: "Eric W.
