If HVM guest Fedora 7 uses PIT and lapic timer, it can''t boot or install. The cause is: At some point, Fedora 7 disables PIT interrupt by "vioapic.redirtbl[2].mask = 1, vpic.imr.bit0 = 0 (unmasked), vlapic.lvt[LINT0].mask = 1", and enables vlapic timer interrupt generating; In vmx_intr_assist() -> pt_update_irq(), we always choose IRQ0 rather than vlapic timer interrupt, because: 1) is_isa_irq_masked(v, 0) returns false due to vpic.imr.bit0 =...

The main change from the patches I sent out earlier this week is support for guests that use the PIC. A callback for PIC irq ack handling is also introduced. Currently, there's no mechanism to register/unregister callers to the irq ack callbacks, but they can be added when there's more than one user for the functionality. Please review.

Patch 1 removes CONFIG_SMP Patch 2 removes separate smp_{,r,w}mb()s as a result of patch 1 Patch 4 removes __ia64__ defines from the x86 arch tree Patch 3 is related to patch 4 and changes the VIOAPIC to emulate version 0x20 as a performance gain. It preceeds Patch 4 so as to be more clear about the functional change. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
