- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other "hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway. - We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the same way that I/O APIC pins are. - Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID. - The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing, it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0 for now). - For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs. - Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts, or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs. The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose interrupts). MFC after: 1 week
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
