Nikita Leshenko 408a265107 KVM: x86: ioapic: Clear Remote IRR when entry is switched to edge-triggered
[ Upstream commit a8bfec2930 ]

Some OSes (Linux, Xen) use this behavior to clear the Remote IRR bit for
IOAPICs without an EOI register. They simulate the EOI message manually
by changing the trigger mode to edge and then back to level, with the
entry being masked during this.

QEMU implements this feature in commit ed1263c363c9
("ioapic: clear remote irr bit for edge-triggered interrupts")

As a side effect, this commit removes an incorrect behavior where Remote
IRR was cleared when the redirection table entry was rewritten. This is not
consistent with the manual and also opens an opportunity for a strange
behavior when a redirection table entry is modified from an interrupt
handler that handles the same entry: The modification will clear the
Remote IRR bit even though the interrupt handler is still running.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
