Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] Numachip: Elide self-IPI ICR polling
Date: Tue,  4 Nov 2014 16:29:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415089784-28779-2-git-send-email-daniel@numascale.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1415089784-28779-1-git-send-email-daniel@numascale.com>

The default self-IPI path polls the ICR to delay sending the IPI until
there is no IPI in progress. This is redundant on x86-86 APICs, since
IPIs are queued. See the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, vol 2,
p525.
