Hi guys,
I decided to go for it all and test with APIC_IO and SMP_INVLTLB
first, then back off if necessary.
during a kernel compile:
(ttyp0@jake)$ vmstat -i
interrupt total rate
clk0 irq2 744193 431
rtc0 irq8 214594 124
pci irq11 17629 10
sc0 irq1 804 0
sio1 irq3 32319 18
lpt0 irq7 1 0
ed0 irq5 14927 8
sb0 irq9 321 0
stray irq13 1 0
Total 1024789 594
and the tail of dmesg:
DEVFS: ready to run
Enabled INTs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, imen: 0x00ffd401

sio1: 11 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 165)
sio1: 10 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 175)
sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 5)
sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 6)
ed0: device timeout
ed0: device timeout

sio1 is the mouse. system responsiveness is very choppy while
anything significant is running, even a `make depend'
So I removed the SMP_INVLTLB. Is it legal to just comment
out #define SMP_INVLTLB 1 in opt_smp_invltlb.h? Or do I
need to re-config?
kernel without SMP_INVLTLB:
(ttyp1@jake)$ vmstat -i
interrupt total rate
clk0 irq2 1244898 1144
^^^^
Holy Christmas, what's up with that?
rtc0 irq8 139347 128
pci irq11 25834 23
fdc0 irq6 2962 2
sc0 irq1 3278 3
sio1 irq3 53092 48
ed0 irq5 34118 31
sb0 irq9 372 0
stray irq13 1 0
Total 1503902 1382
but no lost interrupts, and the network timeouts are gone.
kernel compile with j1:
1265.95 real 728.45 user 280.91 sys
kernel compile with j8:
658.73 real 866.27 user 256.26 sys
the machine was doing other compiles and work at the same time,
so this isn't a very great indication of performance, but it's looking
better!
eric.
