      x86, irq: Move __setup_vector_irq() before the first irq enable in cpu online path · 9d133e5d
      Suresh Siddha authored 
      Lowest priority delivery of logical flat mode is broken on some systems,
such that even when IO-APIC RTE says deliver the interrupt to a particular CPU,
interrupt subsystem delivers the interrupt to totally different CPU.

For example, this behavior was observed on a P4 based system with SiS chipset
which was reported by Li Zefan. We have been handling this kind of behavior by
making sure that in logical flat mode, we assign the same vector to irq
mappings on all the 8 possible logical cpu's.

But we have been doing this initial assignment (__setup_vector_irq()) a little
late (before which interrupts were already enabled for a short duration).

Move the __setup_vector_irq() before the first irq enable point in the
cpu online path to avoid the issue of not handling some interrupts that
wrongly hit the cpu which is still coming online.

      x86, irq: Update the vector domain for legacy irqs handled by io-apic · 69c89efb
      Suresh Siddha authored 
      In the recent change of not reserving IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all
cpu's, we start with irq 0..15 getting directed to (and handled on) cpu-0.

In the logical flat mode, once the AP's are online (and before irqbalance
comes into picture), kernel intends to handle these IRQ's on any cpu (as the
logical flat mode allows to specify multiple cpu's for the irq destination and
the chipset based routing can deliver to the interrupt to any one of
the specified cpu's). This was broken with our recent change, which was ending
up using only cpu 0 as the destination, even when the kernel was specifying to
use all online cpu's for the logical flat mode case.

Fix this by updating vector allocation domain (cfg->domain) for legacy irqs,
when the IO-APIC handles them.

      x86, irq: Don't block IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all cpu's · 97943390
      Suresh Siddha authored 
      Currently IRQ0..IRQ15 are assigned to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on
all the cpu's.

If these IRQ's are handled by legacy pic controller, then the kernel
handles them only on cpu 0. So there is no need to block this vector
space on all cpu's.

Similarly if these IRQ's are handled by IO-APIC, then the IRQ affinity
will determine on which cpu's we need allocate the vector resource for
that particular IRQ. This can be done dynamically and here also there
is no need to block 16 vectors for IRQ0..IRQ15 on all cpu's.

Fix this by initially assigning IRQ0..IRQ15 to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's only
on cpu 0. If the legacy controllers like pic handles these irq's, then
this configuration will be fixed. If more modern controllers like IO-APIC
handle these IRQ's, then we start with this configuration and as IRQ's
migrate, vectors (/and cpu's) associated with these IRQ's change dynamically.

This will freeup the block of 16 vectors on other cpu's which don't handle
IRQ0..IRQ15, which can now be used for other IRQ's that the particular cpu
handle.

[ hpa: this also an architectural cleanup for future legacy-PIC-free
  configurations. ]
[ hpa: fixed typo NR_LEGACY_IRQS -> NR_IRQS_LEGACY ]

      x86, irq: Use 0x20 for the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR instead of 0x1f · 6579b474
      Suresh Siddha authored 
      After talking to some more folks inside intel (Peter Anvin, Asit Mallick),
the safest option (for future compatibility etc) seen was to use vector 0x20
for IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR instead of using vector 0x1f (which is documented as
reserved vector in the Intel IA32 manuals).

Also we don't need to reserve the entire privilege level (all 16 vectors in
the priority bucket that IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR falls into), as the
x86 architecture (section 10.9.3 in SDM Vol3a) specifies that with in the
priority level, the higher the vector number the higher the priority.
And hence we don't need to reserve the complete priority level 0x20-0x2f for
the IRQ migration cleanup logic.

So change the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to 0x20 and  allow 0x21-0x2f to be used
for device interrupts. 0x30-0x3f will be used for ISA interrupts (these
also can be migrated in the context of IOAPIC and hence need to be at a higher
priority level than IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR).

      FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR is going away and it looks like a bad hack to steal
FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR / FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR, when it looks like it needs
IRQ0_VECTOR.

Fix vmi_get_timer_vector() to use IRQ0_VECTOR.

      x86, apic: Don't waste a vector to improve vector spread · ea943966
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      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.

      x86, apic: Reclaim IDT vectors 0x20-0x2f · 99d113b1
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      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.

      x86: Increase NR_IRQS and nr_irqs · 9959c888
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      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:
