Hi, Regarding the Powermac G5 Quad (PMAC 11.2), i have compiled a few different kernels and they all seem to generate spurious interrupts. Observing the output of cat /proc/interrupts, it seems that each individual IRQ number assigned for most devices has the interrupt serviced by all 4 CPU cores simultaneously. When this occurs, the spurious interrupt count increments for each core simultaneously. However, if the irqbalance daemon is installed, the spurious interrupt counter doesn't increment anymore and irq's are distributed across each of the CPU's. I have used various vanilla mainline kernels between 3.18.16 all the way to 4.4.0-rc5 and i seem to observe the same behavior. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or am i configuring something wrong in the kernel? No obvious side effect, however it just seemed like a strange observation. Attached is my kernel config for 4.4.0-rc5. Cheers, Peter
