Hi,
Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2
o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer
vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts
travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot
failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt
through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do
not support the other mode.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.
