Hmmm, that's a little too technical for me ;-)
Does that mean that this patch would perhaps increase the stability of
my board as this code tries to prevent those double errors?
If yes, where could I get this patch to try it out?
What do you think of the following suggestion:
-Implement two runtime kernel variables like
/proc/sys/kernel/print_apic_errors
This would simply disable those "APIC error" kernel logs, so that the
logfile is not flooded. (45000 log entries in 1 hour are quite a lot).
Anyway once you know that your board has this problem, IMHO there is no
further use in those messages.
/proc/sys/kernel/enable_apic
The second one would enable/disable the APIC code for testing purposes -
like the "noapic" parameter during boottime. But as I have no knowledge
about those kernel internals, perhaps this wish is impossible to
implement...
Once again, thank you for your help!
Best Regards,
Hermann
