Yinghai Lu reported crashes on 64-bit x86: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 IP: [<ffffffff80253b17>] hrtick_start_fair+0x89/0x173 [...] And with a long session of debugging and a lot of difficulty, tracked it down to this commit: ---------------> 8fbbc4b4 is first bad commit commit 8fbbc4b4 Author: Alok Kataria <akataria@vmware.com> Date: Tue Jul 1 11:43:34 2008 -0700 x86: merge tsc_init and clocksource code <-------------- The problem is that the TSC unification missed these Makefile rules in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile: # Do not profile debug and lowlevel utilities CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_64.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_32.o = -pg ... CFLAGS_tsc_64.o := $(nostackp) ... which rules make sure that various instrumentation and debugging facilities are disabled for code that might end up in a VDSO - such as the TSC code.

When an interrupt is rerouted to a different I/O APIC pin the relevant entry of the irq_2_pin list should get updated accordingly so that operations are performed on the correct redirection entry. This is already done by the 32-bit variation of the code and here is a complementing 64-bit implementation. Should make someone's decision less tough when merging the two. ;) Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

So far subsys_initcalls has been executed in this order depending on the object order in the Makefile: arch/x86/pci/visws.c:subsys_initcall(pcibios_init); arch/x86/pci/numa.c:subsys_initcall(pci_numa_init); arch/x86/pci/acpi.c:subsys_initcall(pci_acpi_init); arch/x86/pci/legacy.c:subsys_initcall(pci_legacy_init); arch/x86/pci/irq.c:subsys_initcall(pcibios_irq_init); arch/x86/pci/common.c:subsys_initcall(pcibios_init); This patch removes the ordering dependency. There is now only one subsys_initcall function that contains subsystem initialization code with a defined order.

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_, after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there were interrupts lost or something similar.

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.
