From f33bc55c472295966e520c9347822fdd8b1082cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 17:14:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: avoid sending LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR IPI to itself Ray Lee reported, that on an UP kernel with "noapic" command line option set, the box locks hard during boot. Adding some debug printks revealed, that the last action on the box before stalling was "Send IPI" - a debug printk which was put into smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi(). It seems that send_IPI_mask(mask, LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR) fails when "noapic" is set on the command line on an UP kernel. Aside of that it does not make much sense to trigger an interrupt instead of calling the function directly on the CPU which gets the PIT/HPET interrupt in case of broadcasting.
