: lapic timer: Finish the lapic timer support
:
:...
Yah! It works! Awesome work!
lapic: divisor index 0, frequency 100489256 Hz
vmstat -i ... shows no more "clk" interrupt (as expected!)
Three notes.
(a) In your commit you said 'hw.lapci_timer_enable' instead of what
you really meant which was 'hw.lapic_timer_enable' :-)
(b) Here is a slight change to the interrupt vector code. The
FAST interrupt code also checks for a non-zero td->td_nest_count
before allowing the processing to occur, so I added that to the lapic
vector code too.
The use of td_nest_count is a bit of a hack to allow interrupt
thread preemption to work for slow interrupts. I bump td_nest_count
instead of entering a critical section when scheduling the ithread
(for slow interrupts) so the critical section tests in lwkt_schedule()
in the preemption checks work as expected.
(see below)
(c) Lastly now that the APIC is in use we need some accounting for the
apic interrupt in 'systat -i' output. I added a line to increment
the V_INTR statistic. We might want to augment systat -vm 1 to
explicitly report clock interrupts somehow, maybe with a dummy
kernel-layer interrupt structure that we can name (e.g. "lapic"
vs the i8254's "clk"). I don't know the best solution.
The quick change in the patch below makes it show up in
sysctl vm.stats.sys.v_intr, but systat -vm 1 still doesn't
pick it up (maybe systat should just report vm.stats.sys.v_intr
for its 'total' instead of totalizing the interrupt stats itself).
(see same patch below)
I think you can enable the lapic timer by default in a few days, or even
now. I'm running it on my test boxes and will report any issues but it
appears to be solid as a rock.
