2009-03-18x86: add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() to x2apic flush tlb pathsSuresh Siddha
Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths. x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI. Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

2009-01-28x86, apic: untangle the send_IPI_*() jungleIngo Molnar
Our send_IPI_*() methods and definitions are a twisted mess: the same symbol is defined to different things depending on .config details, in a non-transparent way. - spread out the quirks into separately named per apic driver methods - prefix the standard PC methods with default_ - get rid of wrapper macro obfuscation - clean up various details Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: cleanup Now that it's unified, move the (SMP) TLB flushing code from arch/x86/kernel/ to arch/x86/mm/, where it belongs logically. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
