Um, you could save all the above duplication if you just did:

in arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S

#ifdef CONFIG_TRACING
#define BUILD_TRACE_INTERRUPT(name, nr) \
BUILD_INTERRUPT3(trace_##name, nr, smp_trace_##name)
#else
#define BUILD_TRACE_INTERRUPT(name, nr)
#endif
#define BUILD_INTERRUPT(name, nr) \
BUILD_INTERRUPT3(name, nr, smp_##name) \
BUILD_TRACE_INTERRUPT(name, nr)

These macros are just plan ugly as all hell. What about using static
inlines and something like:

static inline void entering_irq(void)
{
irq_enter();
exit_idle();
}
static inline void exiting_irq(void)
{
irq_exit();
}
-- Just duplicate the two apic timer interrupts because it has the
needed ack first.


Then the rest could be:

static inline void __smp_spurious_interrupt(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
u32 v;

/*
* Check if this really is a spurious interrupt and ACK it
* if it is a vectored one. Just in case...
* Spurious interrupts should not be ACKed.
*/
v = apic_read(APIC_ISR + ((SPURIOUS_APIC_VECTOR & ~0x1f) >> 1));
if (v & (1 << (SPURIOUS_APIC_VECTOR & 0x1f)))
ack_APIC_irq();
inc_irq_stat(irq_spurious_count);

/* see sw-dev-man vol 3, chapter 7.4.13.5 */
pr_info("spurious APIC interrupt on CPU#%d, "
"should never happen.\n", smp_processor_id());
}
void smp_spurious_interrupt(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
entering_irq();
__smp_spurious_interrupt(regs);
exiting_irq();
}
void smp_trace_spurious_interrupt(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
entering_irq();
trace_spurious_apic_enter(SPURIOUS_APIC_VECTOR);
__smp_spurious_interrupt(regs);
trace_spurious_apic_exit(SPURIOUS_APIC_VECTOR);
exiting_irq();
}
This is so much more readable (and maintainable) than using those ugly
macros.
