We want to use a vector-assignment sequence that avoids stumbling onto 0x80 earlier in the sequence, in order to improve the spread of vectors across priority levels on machines with a small number of interrupt sources. Right now, this is done by simply making the first vector (0x31 or 0x41) completely unusable. This is unnecessary; all we need is to start assignment at a +1 offset, we don't actually need to prohibit the usage of this vector once we have wrapped around. Signed-off-by: H.

Reclaim 16 IDT vectors and make them available for general allocation. Reclaim vectors 0x20-0x2f by reallocating the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to vector 0x1f. This is in the range of vector numbers that is officially reserved for the CPU (for exceptions), however, the use of the APIC to generate any vector 0x10 or above is documented, and the CPU internally can receive any vector number (the legacy BIOS uses INT 0x08-0x0f for interrupts, as messed up as that is.) Since IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR has to be alone in the lowest-numbered priority level (block of 16), this effectively enables us to reclaim an otherwise-unusable APIC priority level and put it to use. Since this is a transient kernel-only allocation we can change it at any time, and if/when there is an exception at vector 0x1f this assignment needs to be changed as part of OS enabling that new feature.

I have a system with lots of igb and ixgbe, when iov/vf are enabled for them, we hit the limit of 3064. when system has 20 pcie installed, and one card has 2 functions, and one function needs 64 msi-x, may need 20 * 2 * 64 = 2560 for msi-x but if iov and vf are enabled may need 20 * 2 * 64 * 3 = 7680 for msi-x assume system with 5 ioapic, nr_irqs_gsi will be 120. NR_CPUS = 512, and nr_cpu_ids = 128 will have NR_IRQS = 256 + 512 * 64 = 33024 will have nr_irqs = 120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 64 = 8824 When SPARSE_IRQ is not set, there is no increase with kernel data size. when NR_CPUS=128, and SPARSE_IRQ is set: text data bss dec hex filename 21837444 4216564 12480736 38534744 24bfe58 vmlinux.before 21837442 4216580 12480736 38534758 24bfe66 vmlinux.after when NR_CPUS=4096, and SPARSE_IRQ is set text data bss dec hex filename 21878619 5610244 13415392 40904255 270263f vmlinux.before 21878617 5610244 13415392 40904253 270263d vmlinux.after Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <4B398ECD.1080506@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This fixes a "start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early". rtc_cmos now takes care of initializing the ISA RTC and reading the current time and date from it; there's no need to repeat that here, thereby causing interrupts to be enabled too early.

With some of the cache rework an address aliasing optimization was added, but this managed to fail on certain mappings resulting in pages with PG_dcache_dirty set never writing back their dcache lines. This patch reverts to the earlier behaviour of simply always writing back when the dirty bit is set.
