      x86, apic: Fix spurious error interrupts triggering on all non-boot APs · e503f9e4
      Youquan Song authored 
      This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.

According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
errors are seen as error interrupts.

The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.

When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
programmed as such as well.

This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
signal illegal vector error interrupts.

This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

      x86: Fix UV BAU for non-consecutive nasids · 77ed23f8
      Cliff Wickman authored 
      This is a fix for the SGI Altix-UV Broadcast Assist Unit code,
which is used for TLB flushing.

Certain hardware configurations (that customers are ordering)
cause nasids (numa address space id's) to be non-consecutive.
Specifically, once you have more than 4 blades in a IRU
(Individual Rack Unit - or 1/2 rack) but less than the maximum
of 16, the nasid numbering becomes non-consecutive.  This
currently results in a 'catastrophic error' (CATERR) detected by
the firmware during OS boot.  The BAU is generating an 'INTD'
request that is targeting a non-existent nasid value. Such
configurations may also occur when a blade is configured off
because of hardware errors. (There is one UV hub per blade.)

This patch is required to support such configurations.

The problem with the tlb_uv.c code is that is using the
consecutive hub numbers as indices to the BAU distribution bit
map. These are simply the ordinal position of the hub or blade
within its partition.  It should be using physical node numbers
(pnodes), which correspond to the physical nasid values. Use of
the hub number only works as long as the nasids in the partition
are consecutive and increase with a stride of 1.

This patch changes the index to be the pnode number, thus
allowing nasids to be non-consecutive.
It also provides a table in local memory for each cpu to
translate target cpu number to target pnode and nasid.
And it improves naming to properly reflect 'node' and 'uvhub'
versus 'nasid'.
