[RFC PATCH v3 03/12] x86/apic: Prepare for unifying the interrupt delivery modes setup

From: Dou Liyang
Date: Wed May 10 2017 - 09:45:26 EST


There are three positions for initializing the interrupt delivery
modes:

1) In IRQ initial function, may setup the through-local-APIC
virtual wire mode.

2) In an SMP-capable system, will try to switch to symmetric I/O
model when preparing the cpus in native_smp_prepare_cpus().

3) In UP system with UP_LATE_INIT=y, will set up local APIC and
I/O APIC in smp_init().

Switching to symmetric I/O mode is so late, which causes kernel
is in a mismatched mode at the beginning of booting time. And it
causes the dump-capture kernel hangs with 'notsc' option inherited
from 1st kernel option.

Preparatory patch to initialize an interrupt mode directly and provide
a new function apic_interrupt_mode_init() to unify that three positions
and do that setup as soon as possible.

v2 --> v3:
change the function name from init_interrupt_mode to
apic_interrupt_mode_init.
