[PATCH v2] x86/APIC: Switch flat driver to use phys dst for ext ints
Posted by Matthew Barnes 2 months, 2 weeks ago
External interrupts via logical delivery mode in xAPIC do not benefit
from targeting multiple CPUs and instead simply bloat up the vector
space.

However the xAPIC flat driver currently uses logical delivery for
external interrupts.

This patch switches the xAPIC flat driver to use physical destination
mode for external interrupts, instead of logical destination mode.

This patch also applies the following non-functional changes:
- Remove now unused logical flat functions
- Expand GENAPIC_FLAT and GENAPIC_PHYS macros, and delete them.

Resolves: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/issues/194

Changes in v2:
- Reword commit message
- Expand and delete GENAPIC_* macros
- Bundle patch series into one patch

Why does this decl move to between two flat decls, rather than ...

... staying where it was, next to other phys ones?

I can certainly adjust this back while committing ...

My bad, it's a remnant from an older version of this patch.
There's no reason for the declaration to move.

The organization of giles herre is very bad.  bigsmp.c and default.c are
almost empty files, and delivery.c is almost empty also.  IT should
all be unified into a single xapic.c file, and rename the genapic folder
to plain apic IMO.  Not for you to do here, just realized while
looking at the changes.

After this change all APIC drivers use the same values for the
int_delivery_mode, int_dest_mode, vector_allocation_cpumask and
cpu_mask_to_apicid fields, at which point we can remove the hooks and
adjust the code.  For example vector_allocation_cpumask_phys() should
be renamed to vector_allocation_cpumask(), and the
vector_allocation_cpumask removed.

Can be done in a followup commit.

As a small nit, it would be good if the remaining fields (used for IPI
sending): init_apic_ldr, send_IPI_{mask,self} are grouped together.  I
would move the initialization of the init_apic_ldr field just above
send_IPI_mask.

Thanks, Roger.
