Well, the IC block is most likely the same as that's not rocket science and once done there is no need to fiddle with that. That written, I am afraid there is nothing useful about the IC in the document, except that it's there and consists of an I/O APIC providing 24 inputs and the usual pair of 8259A cores. Thanks for the reference anyway. > There is an interrupt controller in there, but I'm not sure if there's any > 8259A. The northbridge is on the CPU, actually. I will praise the day someone ships an x86 machine without an 8259A core! As expressed in another mail I suspect there may actually be a direct route from the 8254 to INTIN0 in the southbridge -- this is what other bootstrap logs seen in the Internet suggest. This would mean this particular BIOS is buggy (is it the latest version?) and provides an incorrect IRQ override in its ACPI tables, for example because the responsible block has been blindly copied from a machine using a commoner wiring. This could be moderately easily fixed up with a quirk based on the PCI ID (after checking it again, we actually used to have a quirk for ATI in this area, but the way it was done suggests the issue was not understood well enough). Could you please remove the hack sent yesterday and test the patch provided below? I do hope it builds, but I have no immediate means to check it. Please report the output. The intent is to test INTIN0 directly before testing INTIN2 through the 8259A. Thanks. Aside of that, what I have gathered from your reports (please correct me if I have got it wrong) is that when the through-8259A mode is used, then after a while 8254 timer interrupts stop arriving. What's interesting, the "Virtual Wire IRQ" seems to work for you correctly (that's quite an odd setup where a local APIC input is used in the native mode -- please post /proc/interrupts for confirmation), which in turn implies the master 8259A drives its INT output as we expect. Why would the I/O APIC input have problems then? Hmm... [ mingo@elte.hu: revert the "x86: fix IO APIC breakage on HP nx6325" version. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In this case I suspect the case #1 quoted above happens, that is the 8259A manages to deliver its interrupt somehow. Note at this stage it is meant to be in the AEOI mode, so it can happily resubmit the interrupt indefinitely with no additional handling as long as it receives INTA cycles. Can you please try the patch below on top of "x86: I/O APIC: timer through 8259A second-chance" to see whether my hypothesis is true? It modifies the through-8259A setup path so that the APIC input gets masked, but the 8259A has the timer interrupt still enabled. Let me know how the timer interrupt is routed in this case.

If configured to use the I/O APIC, the NMI watchdog is deemed to fail if the chip will not be used in the UP configuration, because "noapic" has been specified or the chip is simply not there. Downgrade to the local APIC watchdog to rectify. The new #ifdef is ugly, I know. A proper solution is to provide suitable definitions of smp_found_config, etc. for !CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC in a header. Likewise the whole if () condition should be moved to a static inline function. Such clean-ups are beyond the scope of this change and can be done once the whole issue of the timer has been sorted out. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Maciej W. Rozycki authored
Some systems incorrectly report the ExtINTA pin of the I/O APIC as the genuine target of the timer interrupt. Here is a change that copies timer pin information found to the other pin if one has been found only. This way both a direct and a through-8259A route is tested with the pin letting these problematic systems work well enough. If no timer pin information has been found for the I/O APIC, then local APIC variations are tried only, similarly to what is done without the change (except without the misleading messages). Obviously if we try the first-chance path without being told by the BIOS to do so, we should not complain either, so do not print the message in this case. The 64-bit variation should be updated with a call to replace_pin_at_irq() which can be done with the upcoming merge. Since add_pin_to_irq() is now always called in the first-chance path, the condition to require it in the second-chance path no longer happens. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

When the through-8259A mode is used for the timer, the call to set_irq_handler() will register a NULL handler name, resulting in "IO-APIC-<NULL>" reported. Fix by calling ioapic_register_intr() as done for all the other I/O APIC interrupts.

The local APIC interrupt handler gets registered with set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), which results in "local-APIC-edge-fasteoi" reported as the name of the handler. Fix by removing the type of the handler left over from before the generic handlers were introduced. The 64-bit variation should get fixed with the upcoming merge.

The code that used to be in do_slow_gettimeoffset() that relied on the IRR bit of the master 8259A PIC for IRQ0 to check the state of the output timer 0 of the PIT is no longer there. As a result, there is no need to use the POLL command to acknowledge the timer interrupt in the "8259A Virtual Wire", except for the NMI watchdog when the i82489DX APIC is used (this is because this particular APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered and keeping the input asserted would keep motherboard NMI sources held off for too long).

Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to /proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the kernel will run slower. This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how many are split.
