Subject: [PATCH 6/7] powerpc: Convert global "BAD" interrupt to per cpu spurious
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 17:34:36 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100201063436.GY2996@kryten> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100201063406.GX2996@kryten>
I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg
IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are
presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common
enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day.
Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause
of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are
occurring.

Again, the short name matches x86 but if people are sufficiently confused by
it ("SPU"), then we can think up something else.
