2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: always use physical delivery mode on > 8 CPUsIngo Molnar
Remove clustered APIC mode. There's little point in the use of clustered APIC mode, broadcasting is limited to within the cluster only, and chipsets have bugs in this area as well. So default to physical APIC mode when the CPU count is large, and default to logical APIC mode when the CPU count is 8 or smaller. (this patch only removes the use of genapic_cluster and cleans up the resulting genapic.c file - removal of all remaining traces of clustered mode will be done by another patch.)

2006-10-08[PATCH] x86_64 irq: Allocate a vector across all cpus for genapic_flat.Eric W. Biederman
The problem we can't take advantage of lowest priority delivery mode if the vectors are allocated for only one cpu at a time. Nor can we work around hardware that assumes lowest priority delivery mode is always used with several cpus. So this patch introduces the concept of a vector_allocation_domain. A set of cpus that will receive an irq on the same vector. Currently the code for implementing this is placed in the genapic structure so we can vary this depending on how we are using the io_apics. This allows us to restore the previous behaviour of genapic_flat without removing the benefits of having separate vector allocation for large machines. This should also fix the problem report where a hyperthreaded cpu was receving the irq on the wrong hyperthread when in logical delivery mode because the previous behaviour is restored. This patch properly records our allocation of the first 16 irqs to the first 16 available vectors on all cpus. This should be fine but it may run into problems with multiple interrupts at the same interrupt level. Except for some badly maintained comments in the code and the behaviour of the interrupt allocator I have no real understanding of that problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
