[patch 070/198] x86_64 genapic update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jason Davis <[email protected]>

x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC
mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected.

ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature
flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine
unconditionally uses physical APIC mode.

Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT
feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode. 
This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.
