When sending an IPI, if a previous IPI is still pending delivery, native_lapic_ipi_vectored() waits for the previous IPI to be sent. We've seen a few inexplicable panics with the current timeout of 50 ms. Increase the timeout to 1 second and make it tunable. No hardware specification mentions a timeout in this case; I checked the Intel SDM, Intel MP spec, and Intel x2APIC spec. Linux and illumos wait forever. In Linux, see __default_send_IPI_shortcut() in arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c. In illumos, see apic_send_ipi() in usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/pcplusmp/apic_common.c. However, misbehaving hardware could hang the system if we wait forever. Reviewed by: mav kib MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: Dell EMC Isilon Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29942
