From: "Jan Beulich" Subject: [PATCH] x86: enable interrupts explicitly in __start_xen() Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:12:35 +0000 Message-ID: <49411FD3.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org Instead of relying on smp_prepare_cpus() (via check_nmi_watchdog()) or init_xen_time() (via init_platform_timer() -> plt_overflow()) implicitly enabling interrupts, enable them explicitly once safe to do so (it may actually be possible to move this even further up, but I don't think that would buy us much).
