From bee3204ec3c49f6f53add9c3962c9012a5c036fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baoquan He Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 13:46:56 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Set up through-local-APIC mode on the boot CPU if 'noapic' specified Currently the kdump kernel becomes very slow if 'noapic' is specified. Normal kernel doesn't have this bug. Kernel parameter 'noapic' is used to disable IO-APIC in system for testing or special purpose. Here the root cause is that in kdump kernel LAPIC is disabled since commit: 522e664644 ("x86/apic: Disable I/O APIC before shutdown of the local APIC") In this case we need set up through-local-APIC on boot CPU in setup_local_APIC(). In normal kernel the legacy irq mode is enabled by the BIOS. If it is virtual wire mode, the local-APIC has been enabled and set as through-local-APIC. Though we fixed the regression introduced by commit 522e664644, to further improve robustness set up the through-local-APIC mode explicitly, do not rely on the default boot IRQ mode.
