arc/i386/kernel/apic.c::detect_init_APIC()
switch (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor) {
case X86_VENDOR_AMD:
if (boot_cpu_data.x86 == 6 && boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 1)
break;
if (boot_cpu_data.x86 == 15 && cpu_has_apic)
break;
goto no_apic;
case X86_VENDOR_INTEL:
if (boot_cpu_data.x86 == 6 ||
(boot_cpu_data.x86 == 15 && cpu_has_apic) ||
(boot_cpu_data.x86 == 5 && cpu_has_apic))

goto no_apic;
}
if (!cpu_has_apic) {
/*
* Some BIOSes disable the local APIC in the
* APIC_BASE MSR. This can only be done in
* software for Intel P6 and AMD K7 (Model > 1).
*/
rdmsr(MSR_IA32_APICBASE, l, h);
if (!(l & MSR_IA32_APICBASE_ENABLE)) {
printk("Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling.\n");
l &= ~MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BASE;
l |= MSR_IA32_APICBASE_ENABLE | APIC_DEFAULT_PHYS_BASE;
wrmsr(MSR_IA32_APICBASE, l, h);
}
}
Because boot_cpu_data.x86 == 15 and the local APIC is disabled in BIOS,
detect_init_APIC() skips the code that reenables the local APIC. This
test is back to front. Change the code to force X86_VENDOR_INTEL to
drop through and it successfully reenables the local apic, I even get
NMI events.
