From 100943c54e0947a07d2c0185368fc2fd848f7f28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gabriel L. Somlo" Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 23:06:17 -0500 Subject: kvm: x86: ignore ioapic polarity Both QEMU and KVM have already accumulated a significant number of optimizations based on the hard-coded assumption that ioapic polarity will always use the ActiveHigh convention, where the logical and physical states of level-triggered irq lines always match (i.e., active(asserted) == high == 1, inactive == low == 0). QEMU guests are expected to follow directions given via ACPI and configure the ioapic with polarity 0 (ActiveHigh). However, even when misbehaving guests (e.g. OS X <= 10.9) set the ioapic polarity to 1 (ActiveLow), QEMU will still use the ActiveHigh signaling convention when interfacing with KVM. This patch modifies KVM to completely ignore ioapic polarity as set by the guest OS, enabling misbehaving guests to work alongside those which comply with the ActiveHigh polarity specified by QEMU's ACPI tables.
