From f7ccadac2d3fe373d14a5917c86c499770ebbffc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 18:31:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Clear stale x2apic mode If x2apic got disabled on the kernel command line, then the following issue can happen: enable_IR_x2apic() .... x2apic_mode = 1; enable_x2apic(); if (x2apic_disabled) { __disable_x2apic(); return; } That leaves X2APIC disabled in hardware, but x2apic_mode stays 1. So all other code which checks x2apic_mode gets the wrong information. Set x2apic_mode to 0 after disabling it in hardware. This is just a hotfix. The proper solution is to rework this code so it has seperate functions for the initial setup on the boot processor and the secondary cpus, but that's beyond the scope of this fix.
