Subject: [PATCH v8 00/13] Unify the interrupt delivery mode and do its setup in advance

Changes V7 --> V8:

  - Change the order of [12/13] patch and [11/13]patch suggested by Rafael J. Wysocki.
  - Fix some comments.
  - Do more tests in Thinkpad x121e   -- Thanks for Borislav Petkov's help.

[Background]

MP specification defines three different interrupt delivery modes as follows:

 1. PIC Mode
 2. Virtual Wire Mode
 3. Symmetric I/O Mode

They will be setup in the different periods of booting time:
 1. *PIC Mode*, the default interrupt delivery modes, will be set first.
 2. *Virtual Wire Mode* will be setup during ISA IRQ initialization( step 1
    in the figure.1).
 3. *Symmetric I/O Mode*'s setup is related to the system
    3.1 In SMP-capable system, setup during prepares CPUs(step 2) 
    3.2 In UP system, setup during initializes itself(step 3).

    figure.1 The flow chart of the kernel startup process

[Problem]

1. Cause kernel in an unmatched mode at the beginning of booting time.
2. Cause the dump-capture kernel hangs with 'notsc' option inherited
   from 1st kernel option.
3. Cause the code hard to read and maintain.

As Ingo's and Eric's discusses[1,2], it need to be refactor.

[Solution]

1. Construct a selector to unify these switches

       +------------+
       |disable_apic+--------------------+
       +------------+       true         |
              |false                     |
              |                          |
 +------------v------------------+       |
 |!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_APIC)+-------+
 +-------------------------------+  true |
              |false                     |
              |                          |
      +-------v---------+                v
      |!smp_found_config|            PIC MODE
      +---------------+-+
       |false         |true
       |              |
       v          +---v---------+
SYMMETRIC IO MODE | !acpi_lapic |
                  +------+------+
                         |
                         v
                   VIRTUAL WIRE MODE 

2. Unifying these setup steps of SMP-capable and UP system

   start_kernel
---------------+
|
|
|
|    x86_late_time_init
+---->---+------------+
|        |
|        |      +------------------------+
|        +----> | 4. init_interrupt_mode |
|               +------------------------+
v


3. Execute the function as soon as possible.

[Test]

1. In a theoretical code analysis, the patchset can wrap the original
logic.

1) The original logic of the interrupt delivery mode setup:

-Step O_1) Keep in PIC mode or virtual wire mode:

  Check (smp_found_config || !boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_APIC))
    true:  PIC mode
    false: virtual wire mode

-Step O_2) Try to switch to symmetric IO mode:
  O_2_1) In up system:

    -Check disable_apic
      ture: O_S_1 (original situation 1)
    -Check whether there is a separate or integrated chip
      don't has: O_S_2
    -Check !smp_found_config
      ture: O_S_3
    -Others:
      O_S_4

  O_2_2) In smp-capable system:

    -Check !smp_found_config && !acpi_lapic
      true: goto O_2_1
    -Check if it is LAPIC
      don't has: O_S_5
    -Check !max_cpus
      true: O_S_6
    -read_apic_id() != boot_cpu_physical_apicid
      true: O_S_7
    -Others:
            O_S_8

2) After that patchset, the new logic:

-Step N_1) Skip step O_1 and try to switch to the final interrupt mode
   -Check disable_apic
     ture: N_S_1 (New situation 1)
   -Check whether there is a separate or integrated chip
     ture: N_S_2
   -Check if (!smp_found_config)
     ture: N_S_3
   -Check !setup_max_cpus
     ture: N_S_4
   -Check read_apic_id() != boot_cpu_physical_apicid
     ture: N_S_5
   -Others:
           N_S_6

O_S_1 is covered in N_S_1
O_S_2 is covered in N_S_2
O_S_3 is covered in N_S_3
O_S_4 is covered in N_S_6
O_S_5 is covered in N_S_2
O_S_6 is covered in N_S_4
O_S_7 is covered in N_S_5
O_S_8 is covered in N_S_6

2. In the actual test, It also can work well in the situations of
my test matrix

The factors of test matrix:

 X86  | SMP |LOCAL APIC|I/O APIC|UP_LATE_INIT|
----- |-----|----------|--------|------------|
32-bit|  Y  |     Y    |    Y   |     Y      |
64-bit|  N  |     N    |    N   |     N      |
xen PV |  
xen HVM|

disable_apic|X86_FEATURE_APIC|smp_found_config|
------------|----------------|----------------|
      0     |        0       |        0       |
      1     |        1       |        1       |

acpi_lapic|acpi_ioapic|setup_max_cpus|
----------|-----------|--------------|
     0    |     0     |      =0      |
     1    |     1     |      >0      |
