Subject: [PATCH] x86, apic: Check fadt x2apic phys in x2apic_phys_probe()
Date: Mon,  4 Feb 2013 12:29:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360009767-3633-1-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130204110304.GD24173@gmail.com>

From: Stoney Wang <song-bo.wang@hp.com>

When HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boot without x2apic_phys, there will be
intermittent lost interrupts and could result in a hang or data loss.

Those systems only work with x2apic phys mode so BIOS set
ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
Also because all apicids are less then 255, BIOS need to pass the control
to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec, chapter 2.9.

Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode:

When user specify x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL.
During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical or
xapic phys driver at first.
Later enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.
After that, x2apic_phys_probe() will install right x2apic phys driver
if user specify x2apic_phys,
but will skip and let x2apic_cluster_probe to take over to install
wrong apic driver (x2apic cluster) when FADT indicates
PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check FADT PHYSICAL.

Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the problem.

-v3: update the change according to Ingo.
