Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] apic: Fix error interrupt report at all APs

Recently, customer report that once machine boot, there are many error interrupt
reported with exact number of all APs.

The root cause is Local APIC will generate error interrupt when it detect
the illegal vector (one in 0 ~ 15) in an interrupt message received or
interrupt generate from local vector table or self IPI. SDM3A.chapter 10.

AP LAPIC thermal sensor register will be reset to 0x10000, if thermal throttling
interrupt take over by BIOS, it need restore AP with the thermal sensor register
value of geting from BSP, otherwise cause system issue. If BIOS does not take
over the thermal interrupt, The restore value will be CPU rest value of 0x10000,
which means the interrupt vector is zero. After writing 0x10000 to thermal
sensor LVT, the processor will recieve the error interrupt report if the APIC
error interrupt is also set.

This patch add check the BIOS whether take over the thermal interrupt by look
at interrupt delivery mode not fixed mode(BIOS handle will be SMI mode) before
restore AP's thermal LVT. So the agony noise of error interrupt will dismiss
when boot on machine that BIOS does not handle thermal interrupt..

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] apic: Add print error interrupt reason

End user worry about the error interrupt information and intend to know what
kind of error interrupts are generated, so this patch add printing out the
detail debug information of error interrupt.
dynamic debug is not initiated when LAPIC initiation, so the pr_debug will not
output the error interrupt debug information when boot.
In this patch, we use apic_printk(APIC_DEBUG,), so if add kernel option
apic=debug will output the error interrupt during boot.

Thanks for help from Joe Perches <[email protected]> about printk format.
