Eric W. Biederman	c7111c1318	[PATCH] x86_64 irq: Allocate a vector across all cpus for genapic_flat. The problem we can't take advantage of lowest priority delivery mode if the vectors are allocated for only one cpu at a time. Nor can we work around hardware that assumes lowest priority delivery mode is always used with several cpus. So this patch introduces the concept of a vector_allocation_domain. A set of cpus that will receive an irq on the same vector. Currently the code for implementing this is placed in the genapic structure so we can vary this depending on how we are using the io_apics. This allows us to restore the previous behaviour of genapic_flat without removing the benefits of having separate vector allocation for large machines. This should also fix the problem report where a hyperthreaded cpu was receving the irq on the wrong hyperthread when in logical delivery mode because the previous behaviour is restored. This patch properly records our allocation of the first 16 irqs to the first 16 available vectors on all cpus. This should be fine but it may run into problems with multiple interrupts at the same interrupt level. Except for some badly maintained comments in the code and the behaviour of the interrupt allocator I have no real understanding of that problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[PATCH] x86_64 irq: Allocate a vector across all cpus for genapic_flat.

The problem we can't take advantage of lowest priority delivery mode if
the vectors are allocated for only one cpu at a time.  Nor can we work
around hardware that assumes lowest priority delivery mode is always
used with several cpus.

So this patch introduces the concept of a vector_allocation_domain.  A
set of cpus that will receive an irq on the same vector.  Currently the
code for implementing this is placed in the genapic structure so we can
vary this depending on how we are using the io_apics.

This allows us to restore the previous behaviour of genapic_flat without
removing the benefits of having separate vector allocation for large
machines.

This should also fix the problem report where a hyperthreaded cpu was
receving the irq on the wrong hyperthread when in logical delivery mode
because the previous behaviour is restored.

This patch properly records our allocation of the first 16 irqs to the
first 16 available vectors on all cpus.  This should be fine but it may
run into problems with multiple interrupts at the same interrupt level.
Except for some badly maintained comments in the code and the behaviour
of the interrupt allocator I have no real understanding of that problem.

The genapic field and the accessor macro weren't used anywhere.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
