[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2697] i386 MP locks up during boot after MI interrupts, TSC related?

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #2697 has been updated by davshao.


DragonFly i386 3.9-DEVELOPMENT now boots successfully on an Asus M5A87 multicore machine and a Asrock Z77M Intel i3 multicore machine and an Lenovo S10 Ideapad netbook with an Intel Atom with hyperthreading, as well as retaining the previously successful booting on a single processor Pentium 4 machine and in a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion 6.

    kernel - (32 bit) fix MP boot problems

thus appears to have completely resolved this issue.

    boot - Fix timecount issues with some BIOSes

booting freezes some time after

Initialize MI interrupts

For example on an Intel Atom:

Initialize MI interrupts
objcache: magazine cap [13, 141]
Finish MP startup
Active CPU Mask: 00000003

On a Asrock Z77M (Intel i3):

Initialize MI interrupts
objcache: magazine cap [13, 141]
Finish MP startup
Active CPU Mask: 0000000f
TSC testing MP synchronization
TSC is MP synchronized, after 57322 tries

On the other hand, the problem does not manifest on a true single processor i386 Pentium 4 machine.
