[PATCH] x86/apic: Remove logical destination mode for 64-bit

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Jul 28 2024 - 07:06:26 EST


Logical destination mode of the local APIC is used for systems with up to
8 CPUs. It has an advantage over physical destination mode as it allows to
target multiple CPUs at once with IPIs.

That advantage was definitely worth it when systems with up to 8 CPUs
were state of the art for servers and workstations, but that's history.

Aside of that there are systems which fail to work with logical destination
mode as the ACPI/DMI quirks show and there are AMD Zen1 systems out there
which fail when interrupt remapping is enabled. The latter can be cured by
firmware updates, but not all OEMs distribute the required changes.

Physical destination mode is guaranteed to work because it is the only way
to get a CPU up and running via the INIT/INIT/STARTUP sequence.

As the number of CPUs keeps increasing, logical destination mode becomes a
less used code path so there is no real good reason to keep it around.

Therefore remove logical destination mode support for 64-bit and default to
physical destination mode.
