Subject: [PATCH 1/2] IRQ: fix performance regression on large IA64 systems
Commit b60c1f6ffd88850079ae419aa933ab0eddbd5535
(drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scaling) removed call to
note_interrupt() in __do_IRQ(). Commit
d85a60d85ea5b7c597508c1510c88e657773d378
(Add IRQF_IRQPOLL flag (common code)) added it again, because it's needed
for irqpoll.
This patch now introduces a new parameter 'only_fixup' for
note_interrupt(). This parameter determines two cases:
TRUE => The function should be only executed when irqfixup is set.
Either 'irqpoll' or 'irqfixup' directly set that.
FALSE => Just the behaviour as note_interrupt() always had.
Now the patch converts all calls of note_interrupt() to only_fixup=FALSE,
except the call that has been removed by b60c1f6ffd.
So that call is always done, but the body is only executed when either
'irqpoll' or 'irqfixup' are specified.
This is needed because __do_IRQ() calls note_interrupt() to record IRQ
statistics. It ends up creating serious cache line contention,
enough that a 1024p system live locks under the crushing weight of the
timer tick.
The note_interrupt() call modifies fields in the irq_desc_t structure.
For PER_CPU timer interrupts (on ia64 machines) this causes cacheline
contention.
Systems with 1024 processors take an extremely long time to boot up, as
most of the time is spent attempting to service timer interrupts. With
noirqdebug added to the boot line, the system boots in close to the normal
amount of time.
Based on Bernhard's patch.
