Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] x86: kconfig: remove X86_UP_IOAPIC From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com> X86_UP_IOAPIC is a way so that 32-bit UP systems can enable X86_IOAPIC. X86_UP_IOAPIC is only as a visible user option if you are on a 32-bit system but have X86_UP_APIC enabled. X86_UP_APIC will be enabled by force if you have PCI_MSI on 32-bit systems now, X86_UP_APIC will now only be user selectable if you didn't have PCI_MSI enabled and are also not on a X86_32_NON_STANDARD system. Bryan's original patch (refactored commit log in commit 38a1dfda) [0] describes that Intel CE, Intel MID and Intel Quark are all 32-bit uniprocessor systems with IO-APICs, the code change however only *re-enabled* UP_IOAPIC as an *option* when PCI_MSI was enabled, but given that: 1) enabling X86_IOAPIC is the real end goal here 2) enabling X86_IOAPIC only increases the kernel only by 12064 bytes (~12 KiB) 3) enabling X86_IOAPIC will in no way slow down your kernel Let's make a compromise for 32-bit systems and always enable X86_IOAPIC when X86_UP_IOAPIC is enabled as 32-bit systems are not in a state of flux and the price for the size is small with no performance impact.
