2.4.20-ia64-021210/arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c::ia64_mca_rendez_int_handler
/* Register with the SAL monarch that the slave has
* reached SAL
*/
ia64_sal_mc_rendez();
/* Wait for the wakeup IPI from the monarch
* This waiting is done by polling on the wakeup-interrupt
* vector bit in the processor's IRRs
*/
ia64_mca_wakeup_ipi_wait();
The documentation for SAL_MC_RENDEZ (24535901.pdf) says that SAL itself
spins, looking for the wakeup ipi. Why is the kernel code doing the
same work? Either SAL_MC_RENDEZ does not spin (and the SAL docs are
wrong) or the kernel code in ia64_mca_wakeup_ipi_wait is redundant.
Why do I care? I am trying to get kdb/lcrash data after MCA.
