pcitool is a low-level tool which provides a facility for getting and setting interrupt routing information.

On x86 platforms, both INOs and MSI/Xs are mapped to the same interrupt vectors. Use pcitool -i option to retrieve and reroute any interrupt vectors (both INO and MSI/Xs).

On SPARC platforms, the INO is mapped to an interrupt mondo, where as one or more MSI/Xs are mapped to an INO. So, INO and MSI/Xs are individually retargetable. Use pcitool -i option to retrieve or reroute a given INO, where as use pcitool -m option for MSI/Xs.

The following options are supported by pcitool for interrupt routing:

(Used with -r). Dump interrupt controller information.
(Used with -w). On some platforms (such as x86) multiple MSI interrupts of a single function need to be rerouted together. Use -g to do this. -g works only on supported platforms and only for groups of MSI interrupts. (A "group" of 1 is accepted). When -g is used, the vector provided must be the lowest-numbered vector of the group. The size of the group is determined internally.
Display device and CPU routing information for INOs on a given nexus, or reroute the given INO or INO group to a specific CPU.
(SPARC only) Display device and CPU routing information for MSI/Xs on a given nexus, or reroute the given MSI/X or MSI/X group to a specific CPU.
No errors reported as messages. Unix error status still returned by program, however.
Display device and CPU routing information for INOs on a given nexus. The device path and instance number of each device for each displayed INO will be shown. On some platforms, interrupts dedicated to the root complex are indicated with ‘(Internal)’ appended to their pathname. Default if neither -r nor -w are specified.
Verbose output.
Route the given INO or MSI/X to the given CPU. Display the new and original routing information. The INO or MSI/X must be specified.

The following error statuses are returned to the shell:

0
No error
EINVAL
Out-of-range, misaligned or otherwise invalid argument has been passed in.
ETIME
Timeout waiting for pending interrupt to settle before changing interrupts to a new CPU.
EIO
An IO error occurred.

Showing INOs or MSI/Xs
The command for showing all INOs on /pci@0,0 is:
# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i all

The command for showing ino <0x0,0x21> on the same root nexus, along with sample output, is:

On x86 platform:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i 0,21
0x0,0x21: mpt       0    /pci@7b,0/pci1022,7458@11/pci1000,3060@2

On SPARC platform:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i 21
0x0,0x21: mpt       0    /pci@7b,0/pci1022,7458@11/pci1000,3060@2

The command for showing MSI 0x1 on the same root nexus, along with sample output, is:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -m 0x1
0x0,0x1: pcieb     0    /pci@7b,0/pci10de,5d@e
Rerouting INOs or MSI/Xs
Successful rerouting ino 21 above from cpu 0 to cpu 1 gives the following output:

On x86 platform:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i 0,21 -w 1
0x0,0x21 -> 0x1,0x20

On SPARC platform:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i 21 -w 1
0x0,0x21 -> 0x1,0x21

Successful rerouting msi 1 above from cpu 1 to cpu 0 gives the following output:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -m 1 -w 0
0x1,0x1 -> 0x0,0x1

Successful rerouting a group of INOs starting at 24 from cpu 0 to cpu 1 gives the following output:

On x86 platform:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i 3,24 -w 1 -g
0x3,0x24 => 0x1,0x22

On SPARC platform:

# pcitool /pci@0,0 -i 24 -w 1 -g
0x3,0x24 => 0x1,0x22

Not all commands are applicable to all platforms.

The user must have all privileges in order to access interrupt information. A regular user can access interrupt information when su(8) to root or granted the "Maintenance and Repair" rights profile in the user_attr file. See user_attr(5) and rbac(7).
