Is this finished ? (It seems it is not in 2.6.11-rc2-mm1.)

Not yet. For the time being focus got shifted to other kdump issues. I
am not even sure if this is a problem. See below a clip from discussions
on fastboot.

Do you see a problem in the code flow somewhere?

Hi,
This is not for kdump but an experience of our project(mkdump).
The dump kernel(not SMP config) boot hangs if machine_kexec()
excutes on non-boot CPU on x86_64 platform.
We don't found why. (Please let me know if you know why.)
but fix that the boot-cpu excutes machine_kexec() in the nmi handler.
(It becomes OK after that)
See attached patch (this is only for explanation). (this is for
arch/i386/kernel/crash.c in the 2.6.11-rc2-mm1)
> Do you see a problem in the code flow somewhere?
I point some concerns in the attached patch too. (not related above)
Thanks.

?? x86_64 is Opteron cpu, amd64, Intel cpu?
Are the kernels running in 32bit or 64bit mode. I'm guessing
SMP Opterons running in 32bit mode.
Anyway one thing I want to do is actually drop the apic shutdown
code altogether in this code path. I threw it in there to
ease the transition from the old code base to the new, but
if that code is causing issues.... So this is probably a good time
to start testing that.

My best hunch is that your UP kernel is not getting interrupts.
Any chance on getting a serial console boot log?
I suspect it can be made to work if you compile your UP
kernel with IOAPIC support. I do know the table parsers
no longer complain about the configuration.

SMP Opterons running in 64bit mode. (The normal kernel is SMP configed.
The dump kernel is not SMP configed.)

It sounds nice. (if available)

yes. It seems the timer interrupts is not comming up.

attached. both success case and unsuccess case.

with IOAPIC support. the config is attached.
Thanks.

The reason I was asking and assuming you had a 32bit kernel is that
you were quoting pieces of arch/i386/kernel/crash.c instead of
arch/x86_64/kernel/crash.c
While the functionality can easily be transfered I didn't think
any one had done that yet.

All that has to happen is to drop the x86-crash_shutdown-apic-shutdown.patch
from Andrews tree. That patch just added the handful of lines that
disabled the apics. Once I get a test case that someone can boot a
kernel without disabling apics I will ask Andrew to drop the above
mentioned patch.

Ok. Thanks. This is a legitimate bug. And it is probably the reason
I even care about the non-SMP interrupt case some days. The problem
is that the kernel just assumes interrupts are setup in non-APIC mode
when it starts booting, and quite possibly only the bootstrap cpu can
see those interrupts.
So I believe the fix needs to be to enable apics before we calibrate
the delay timer. I'm not certain off the top of my head what that
patch will look like but it should not be fundamentally hard.
With that code in place we also don't need to do any APIC shutdown
as the kernel knows enough to completely setup the apics.

Using "arch/i386/kernel/crash.c" is just for explanation how we avoid
the hang. (I found x86_64 kdump is not supported in 2.6.11-rc2-mm1 :-))
The attached log is a log of running mkdump (it supports x86_64). not kdump.
The basic procedure before jumping new kernel is almost same as kdump.
So I inform this infromation to you since I think it may be helpfull
for kdump development.

I see. Thank you for your explanation.
Thanks.

I have done a bit more digging.
For some reason, likely historical we don't initialize the
IO_APIC in init_IRQ(). Instead we wait until smp_prepare_cpus() or
smp_init(). Both functions are called much later in the init process
than calibrate_delay().
Given the separation that has happened between apics and SMP it should
be possible to initialize the local apic and the IO_APIC of the boot
cpu much earlier in the game. It looks like it may take some heavy
lifting though.
