[PATCH v4] x86: under bios control, restore AP's APIC_LVTTHMR tothe BSP value

From: Yong Wang
Date: Mon Nov 09 2009 - 07:14:47 EST


Changes since v3:

Rename get_bsp_lvtthmr_init to mcheck_intel_therm_init and call it from
mcheck_init function. Make mcheck_init a non-early_initcall so that it
could execute earlier. Many thanks to Ingo for the valuable comments.

---
On platforms where bios handles the thermal monitor interrupt,
APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI and OS
can't touch it.

Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clear all
the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in
all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set to masked
(clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR).

And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring interrupt
on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed value only on BSP).

As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal
monitoring interrupt is generated.

Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP
and if bios has taken over the control, then program the same value
on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring interrupt control
on all the logical cpu's to the bios.
