This patch fixes an obscure failure of the QNX kernel on QEMU x86 SMP.
In QNX, all hardware interrupts come via the PIC, and are delivered by
the cpu 0 LAPIC in ExtINT mode, while IPIs are delivered by the LAPIC
in fixed mode.
This bug happens as follows:
- cpu 0 masks a particular PIC interrupt
- IPI sent to cpu 0 (CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD is set)
- before the IPI is accepted, the masked interrupt line is asserted by the
device
Since the interrupt is masked, apic_deliver_pic_intr will clear
CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD. The IPI will still be set in the APIC irr, but since
CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD is not set the cpu will not notice. Depending on the
scenario this can cause a system hang, i.e. if cpu 0 is expected to unmask
the interrupt.
In order to fix this, do a full check of the APIC before an EXTINT
is acknowledged. This can result in clearing CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD, but
can also result in delivering the lost IPI.
