![]() The majority of SMP platforms handle their IPIs through do_IRQ() which calls irq_{enter/exit}(). When a call function IPI is received, smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice. When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a core which receives its ticks via broadcast. This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't (loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().
