From: Thomas Renninger Use IPI for blacklisted CPUs, add parameter IPI vs LAPIC Currently, Linux disables lapic timer for all machines with C2 and higher C-state support. According to Intel only specific Intel models (Banias/Dothan) are broken in respect of not waking up from C2 with lapic. However, I am not sure about the naming of the parameter and how it could/should get integrated into the dyntick part (CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS). There, a more fine grained check (TSC still running?, ..) is needed? Does this make sense (always use CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON, but use OFF if forced by use_ipi=0: clockevents_notify(use_ipi ? CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON : CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_OFF, &pr->id); Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c index 6077300..562124e 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c @@ -89,6 +89,12 @@ module_param(nocst, uint, 0000); static unsigned int bm_history __read_mostly = (HZ >= 800 ? 0xFFFFFFFF : ((1U << (HZ / 25)) - 1)); module_param(bm_history, uint, 0644); + +static unsigned use_ipi = 2; +module_param(use_ipi, uint, 0644); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(use_ipi, "IPI (vs. LAPIC) irqs for not waking up from C2/C3" + " machines. 0=apic, 1=ipi, 2=auto\n"); + /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power Management -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ @@ -260,9 +266,8 @@ static void acpi_cstate_enter(struct acpi_processor_cx *cstate) /* * Some BIOS implementations switch to C3 in the published C2 state. - * This seems to be a common problem on AMD boxen, but other vendors - * are affected too.
