[PART2 RFC v2 00/10] iommu/AMD: Introduce IOMMU AVIC support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



CHANGES FROM V1
===============
  * Rename the new mode from ga to vapic to be consistent with
    the current terminology used in KVM for guest virtual APIC
    (1/10 and 2/10).
  * Rename the member enum amd_iommu_intr_mode_type, and provide
    helper functions (1/10 and 2/10).
  * Re-factor the patch series to separate out the enabling of
    vAPIC interrupt remapping mode (patch 7/10).
  * Re-implement amd_iommu_update_ga() (per Radim's comment) (10/10)

OVERVIEW
========
This patch set is the second part of the two-part patch series to introduce
the new AMD Advance Virtual Interrupt Controller (AVIC) support.

In addition to the SVM AVIC, AMD IOMMU also extends the AVIC capability
to allow I/O interrupts injection directly into the virtualized guest
local APIC without the need for hypervisor intervention.

This patch series introduces a new hardware interrupt remapping (IR) mode
in AMD IOMMU driver, the Guest Virtual APIC (GA) mode. This is in contrast
to the existing "legacy" mode. The IR mode can be specified with a new
kernel parameter:

    amd_iommu_guest_ir=[vapic (default) | legacy]

When enabling GA mode, the AMD IOMMU driver will configure device interrupt
remapping in GA mode when possible (i.e. SVM AVIC must be enabled, and if
the interrupt types are supported). Otherewise, the driver will fallback
to using the legacy IR mode.

This patch series also introduces new interfaces between SVM and IOMMU
to allow:
  * SVM driver to communicate to IOMMU with updated vcpu scheduling
    information.
  * IOMMU driver to notify SVM driver to schedule vcpu on to physical core
    handle IOMMU GALog entry.

DOCUMENTATIONS
==============
More information about SVM AVIC can be found in the
AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2 - System Programming.

More information about IOMMU AVIC can be found int the
AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (IOMMU) Specification - Rev 2.62.

Any feedback and comments are very much appreciated.

Thank you,
