Seems these two function, ioapic/lapic_set_legacy_irq_mode should be
exclusive.

Thanks for looking into this, dou!

It might be not exclusive. You can see mp_spec 3.6.2.2 Virtual Wire Mode

Oops! Sorry to confuse you, here what I want to say is that the code
make me think that we set through IO-APIC first, then set through
Local-APIC then. But, we can be only in one mode of them.

Just worry about this code seems ignore the irq remapping situation.

We call switch_to_legacy_irq_mode() directly in machine_kexec(),
why we also set x86_io_apic_ops:

.disable = switch_to_legacy_irq_mode

subsection, there are two kinds of virtual wire mode, one is
8259A-Equivalent pics is connected to lint0 of boot cpu LAPIC, the other
is 8259A-Equivalent pics go through IO-APIC, then is connected to lint0
of LAPIC. Whatever it is, LAPIC need be set as through-lapic.


Yes, Absolutely right!

Above is what I got from mp_spec. But from function
native_disable_io_apic() and disconnect_bsp_APIC(), the code seems to be
telling that if io-apic is connected to 8259A-Equivalent pics, we need
mask lvt0 of LAPIC. This conflicts with mp_spec 3.6.2.2.


I think so.

Thanks,
dou.
Thanks
Baoquan

But We do that because both the through-lapic and through-ioapic virtual
wire mode need setup the APIC_SPIV_APIC_ENABLED which is only located in
the lapic_set_legacy_irq_mode(). So we need call them both.

IMO, this cleanup may not make it clear. we can separate these two mode
totally or just keep it like before.

Thanks,
dou.
