SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
- 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
semantics
- a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
slots
- an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
event flag areas
The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
MSR.
The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
mapping.
Changes v4:
* added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
* added per SynIC active flag
* added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation
Changes v3:
* added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into

Changes v2:
* do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
* add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap

The decision on whether to use hardware APIC virtualization used to be
taken globally, based on the availability of the feature in the CPU
and the value of a module parameter.
However, under certain circumstances we want to control it on per-vcpu
basis. In particular, when the userspace activates HyperV synthetic
interrupt controller (SynIC), APICv has to be disabled as it's
incompatible with SynIC auto-EOI behavior.
To achieve that, introduce 'apicv_active' flag on struct
kvm_vcpu_arch, and kvm_vcpu_deactivate_apicv() function to turn APICv
off. The flag is initialized based on the module parameter and CPU
capability, and consulted whenever an APICv-specific action is
performed.

If vcpu has a interrupt in vmx non-root mode, injecting that interrupt
requires a vmexit. With posted interrupt processing, the vmexit
is not needed, and interrupts are fully taken care of by hardware.
In nested vmx, this feature avoids much more vmexits than non-nested vmx.
When L1 asks L0 to deliver L1's posted interrupt vector, and the target
VCPU is in non-root mode, we use a physical ipi to deliver POSTED_INTR_NV
to the target vCPU. Using POSTED_INTR_NV avoids unexpected interrupts
if a concurrent vmexit happens and L1's vector is different with L0's.
The IPI triggers posted interrupt processing in the target physical CPU.
In case the target vCPU was not in guest mode, complete the posted
interrupt delivery on the next entry to L2.

* When the KVM_SET_IRQCHIP ioctl is invoked, it is decremented (0)
* When the guest disables the bit in the SPIV register, e.g. as part of
shutdown, apic_set_spiv does not notice the change and the static key is
_not_ incremented.
* When the guest is destroyed, the static key is decremented (-1),

KVM does not deliver x2APIC broadcast messages with physical mode. Intel SDM
(10.12.9 ICR Operation in x2APIC Mode) states: "A destination ID value of
FFFF_FFFFH is used for broadcast of interrupts in both logical destination and
physical destination modes."
In addition, the local-apic enables cluster mode broadcast. As Intel SDM
10.6.2.2 says: "Broadcast to all local APICs is achieved by setting all
destination bits to one." This patch enables cluster mode broadcast.
The fix tries to combine broadcast in different modes through a unified code.
One rare case occurs when the source of IPI has its APIC disabled. In such
case, the source can still issue IPIs, but since the source is not obliged to
have the same LAPIC mode as the enabled ones, we cannot rely on it.
Since it is a rare case, it is unoptimized and done on the slow-path.

This is generally not guest triggerable, because the required write is
done by firmware that runs before the guest. Also, it only affects AMD

A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the
remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED
was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost.
This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in
kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu
context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there
are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end.
The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting
KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but
immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI.
The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED
state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a
SIPI event.
Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code
segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for
the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.

Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts
manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs
some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path:
- for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need
update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest.
- A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also
considered in above update action, since hardware will decide
when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and

Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory.
This reduces the number of exits an interrupt
causes as much as by half.
The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
a test and clear operation - this is necessary
so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.
There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
- Guest EOI is not required
- Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit
For testing results see description of previous patch
'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt
injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have
a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by
1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR
2. on set, caching the injected vector number
3. on clear, invalidating the cache
The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI
which needs to quickly validate the vector.
But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch,
and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr
will always return immediately without scanning ISR.
