When the world was a simple and static place setting up irqs was easy.
It sufficed to allocate a linux irq number and a find a free cpu
vector we could receive that linux irq on. In those days it was
a safe assumption that any allocated vector was actually in use
so after one global pass through all of the vectors we would have
none left.
These days things are much more dynamic with interrupt controllers
(in the form of MSI or MSI-X) appearing on plug in cards and linux
irqs appearing and disappearing. As these irqs come and go vectors
are allocated and freed, invalidating the ancient assumption that all
allocated vectors stayed in use forever.
So this patch modifies the vector allocator to walk through every
possible vector before giving up, and to check to see if a vector
is in use before assigning it. With these changes we stop leaking
freed vectors and it becomes possible to allocate and free irq vectors
all day long.
This changed was modeled after the vector allocator on x86_64 where
this limitation has already been removed. In essence we don't update
the static variables that hold the position of the last vector we
allocated until have successfully allocated another vector. This
allows us to detect if we have completed one complete scan through
all of the possible vectors.

This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now.
It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the
right thing for the vDSO vma anyway. Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the
vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed. It handles the
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from
get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does.
This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from
the vDSO. I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out
that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV. It's cleaner
to leave them out, and just let the phdrs inside the vDSO image speak for
themselves.

I wouldn't mind if CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO went away entirely. But if it's there,
it should work properly. Currently it's quite haphazard: both real vma and
fixmap are mapped, both are put in the two different AT_* slots, sysenter
returns to the vma address rather than the fixmap address, and core dumps yet
are another story.
This patch makes CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO disable the real vma and use the fixmap
area consistently. This makes it actually compatible with what the old vdso
implementation did.

I'm trying to remove drivers/acpi/motherboard.c, which is mostly
redundant with drivers/pnp/system.c. So make sure that we include the
PNP driver in the default config. Most distros enable this already.
Turning on CONFIG_PNP also causes the following options to be enabled:
CONFIG_PNPACPI
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP causes legacy serial ports to be discovered
twice, which is ugly but harmless:

Commit f2802e7f57 and its x86 version
(b7471c6da9) adds nmi_known_cpu() check
while parsing boot options in x86_64 and i386.
With that, "nmi_watchdog=2" stops working for me on Intel Core 2 CPU
based system.
The problem is, setup_nmi_watchdog is called while parsing the boot
option and identify_cpu is not done yet. So, the return value of
nmi_known_cpu() is not valid at this point.
So revert that check. This should not have any adverse effect as the
nmi_known_cpu() check is done again later in enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog().

The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.
The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.
The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

This is patch that solves Ebox mini PC issue and make
FSB code more specification compilant. At start guess_fsb
function is guessing 200MHz FSB too. It is better to
make it in this way because, thanks to this function, driver
will fail for bogus FSB values caused by bogus multiplier
value. For PowerSaver processors we can't depend on Max /
MinMHzFSB because these values are only used for
PowerSaver 2.0 and 3.0. Most processors on which Longhaul
is used are PowerSaver 1.0 only. I'm changing code for older
CPU's too, but not so much as previously, and this code was
already used for Ezra. Using MinMHzBR for Ezra-T is outside
spec. It is for voltage scaling purpose and don't have to
be equal to minmult (but it is). Same for Nehemiah (it
isn't for sure). Added mult - current multiplier value.

Commit 968de4f026 ("i386: Relocatable

that didn't mark ".text.*" sections automatically allocated.
So we should use .section command to specifically mark .text.head
section as AX (allocatable and executable) to solve the problem.
This should be unnecessary with binutils 2.15 and later, which is
already three years old, but it doesn't hurt supporting older toolchains
where possible.

ACPI PM2 register was fallback for "Longhaul ver. 1" CPU's.
My assumption that this register isn't present at
"PowerSaver" motherboards is so far true, but current code
will not work correctly in other case. There are three possible
supports: ACPI C3, PM2 and northbridge. That was my assumption
that ACPI C3 and northbridge is for PS and northbridge and PM2
is for V1. In current code we can only check if it is ACPI
support or not by port22_en. So remove port22_en and add
longhaul_flags. If USE_ACPI_C3 and USE_NORTHBRIDGE are both
clear then it means ACPI PM2 support. Also change order of
support probe from ACPI C3, PM2, northbridge to ACPI C3,
northbridge, ACPI PM2. Paranoid protection against port 0x22
cast as ACPI PM2 register. Bit 1 clear in such case - lockup
on AGP DMA. And obvious (now) fixup for do_powersaver. Use
cx->address only for ACPI C3 ("PowerSaver" processor using
PM2 support).

pci_mmcfg_read/write() is used.
static inline void pci_exp_set_dev_base(int bus, int devfn)

u32 dev_base = base | (bus << 20) | (devfn << 12);

But if cpus accessed the above order, the second pci_mmcfg_read() on
cpu0 doesn't flush the TLB, because "mmcfg_last_accessed_device" is
device-B. So, second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 accesses a device-A via
a previous TLB cache. This problem became the cause of several strange
behavior.
This patches fixes this situation by adds "mmcfg_last_accessed_cpu" check.

that it's probably worth it, but if we wanted to avoid all locking and
instead just disable preemption, that would be the way to go. --Linus ]

Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
system load, often in the milliseconds range.
After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:

what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for

for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!
the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:
commit 495ab9c045
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date: Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200
[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
the problem is this type of change:
if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
- clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
while (!need_resched()) {
local_irq_disable();
this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:
clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);
and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:
static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
"btrl %1,%0"
hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:
#define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier()
but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.
CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]
Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.
( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )
The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

The PDA patches introduced a bug in ptrace: it reads eflags from the wrong
place on the target's stack, but writes it back to the correct place. The
result is a corrupted eflags, which is most visible when it turns interrupts
off unexpectedly.
This patch fixes this by making the ptrace code a little less fragile. It
changes [gs]et_stack_long to take a straightforward byte offset into struct
pt_regs, rather than requiring all callers to do a sizeof(struct pt_regs)
offset adjustment. This means that the eflag's offset (EFL_OFFSET) on the
target stack can be simply computed with offsetof().

This patch is designed to fix:
- Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM
- VIA IRQ handling
- VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAM
The core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time.
We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly
we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume.
The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which
are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various
patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect
(hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right
devices only.

2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64
systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an
IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus
to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)
and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes
the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could
potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery. There are no functional

The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the
inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function)
information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream. This reduces
cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.
However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.
The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.

Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late

This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which

Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on
x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working
around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision
ID 0x9 and below. errata #23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf).
This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be
directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by
BIOS on these platforms).
Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and
forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms.
Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.
While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
compatible with the respective opposite in the other

Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option. The
VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which
probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires
100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using
a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs
have not yet been delivered.
In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug
could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter
SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs.

Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops. Most amusingly,
flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb.
Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user
(non-global). Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page
table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not
global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is
confusingly overloaded.

It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.
The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).
Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

o Now CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is being replaced with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
Hardcoding the kernel physical start value creates a problem in relocatable
kernel context due to boot loader limitations. For ex, if somebody
compiles a relocatable kernel to be run from address 4MB, but this kernel
will run from location 1MB as grub loads the kernel at physical address
1MB. Kernel thinks that I am a relocatable kernel and I should run from
the address I have been loaded at. So somebody wanting to run kernel
from 4MB alignment location (for improved performance regions) can't do
that.
o Hence, Eric proposed that probably CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN will make
more sense in relocatable kernel context. At run time kernel will move
itself to a physical addr location which meets user specified alignment
restrictions.

with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code.

Ld knows about 2 kinds of symbols, absolute and section
relative. Section relative symbols symbols change value
when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not.
Currently in the linker script we have several labels
marking the beginning and ending of sections that
are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols.
Having a mixture of absolute and section relative
symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless
but it is confusing.
This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place
symbols that appear in sections without data and instead
ld makes those symbols global :(
My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel. The
safest and least intrusive technique is to generate
relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load
time. The only penalty would be an increase in the size
of the kernel binary. The problem is that if absolute and
relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols
will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which
is fatal.
The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that
will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused
a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code
the physical memory location they will run at, especially
for the distributions.
[AK: and merged:]
o Also put a message so that in future people can be aware of it and
avoid introducing absolute symbols.

Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level
in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one.
Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers
because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute
exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle().
So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes
code.
In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer
now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem
ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways.

sys_vm86 uses a struct kernel_vm86_regs, which is identical to pt_regs, but
adds an extra space for all the segment registers. Previously this structure
was completely independent, so changes in pt_regs had to be reflected in
kernel_vm86_regs. This changes just embeds pt_regs in kernel_vm86_regs, and
makes the appropriate changes to vm86.c to deal with the new naming.
Also, since %gs is dealt with differently in the kernel, this change adjusts
vm86.c to reflect this.
While making these changes, I also cleaned up some frankly bizarre code which
was added when auditing was added to sys_vm86.

This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related
changes:
1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on
entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
__KERNEL_PDA.
2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
state can be accessed.
Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
(or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).
3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
register state in a signal context.
4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.
This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.
In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

This patch has the basic definitions of struct i386_pda, and the segment
selector in the GDT.
asm-i386/pda.h is more or less a direct copy of asm-x86_64/pda.h. The most
interesting difference is the use of _proxy_pda, which is used to give gcc a
model for the actual memory operations on the real pda structure. No actual
reference is ever made to _proxy_pda, so it is never defined.

i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature. Chuck reports that this gives him a +/-
0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark
x86_64 description follows:
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore
all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap
every context switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap
is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5
having done so are quite high obviously).
After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there
are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do
longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since
iBCS stopped being supported. This means it is now possible to actually
set an empty LDT segment.
In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been
replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both
setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register.
If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL

The number of permutations of crap we do is amazing and almost all of it
has the wrong effect in 2.6.
At the heart of this is the PCI SFF magic which says that compatibility
mode PCI IDE controllers use ISA IRQ routing and hard coded addresses
not the BAR values. The old quirks variously clears them, sets them,
adjusts them and then IDE ignores the result.
In order to drive all this garbage out and to do it portably we need to
handle the SFF rules directly and properly. Because we know the device
BAR 0-3 are not used in compatibility mode we load them with the values
that are implied (and indeed which many controllers actually
thoughtfully put there in this mode anyway).
This removes special cases in the IDE layer and libata which now knows
that bar 0/1/2/3 always contain the correct address. It means our
resource allocation map is accurate from boot, not "mostly accurate"
after ide is loaded, and it shoots lots of code. There is also lots more
code and magic constant knowledge to shoot once this is in and settled.
Been in my test tree for a while both with drivers/ide and with libata.

back down the stack frame. It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).
I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely

Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said:
"Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
_before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).
So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
self-IPI."
This trivial patch solves the problem.
