From: Yadong Qi <yadong.qi@xxxxxxxxx>
Background: We have a lightweight HV, it needs INIT-VMExit and
SIPI-VMExit to wake-up APs for guests since it do not monitoring
the Local APIC. But currently virtual wait-for-SIPI(WFS) state
is not supported in KVM, so when running on top of KVM, the L1
HV cannot receive the INIT-VMExit and SIPI-VMExit which cause
the L2 guest cannot wake up the APs.
This patch is incomplete, it emulated wait-for-SIPI state by halt
the vCPU and emulated SIPI-VMExit to L1 when trapped SIPI signal
from L2. I am posting it RFC to gauge whether or not upstream
KVM is interested in emulating wait-for-SIPI state before
investing the time to finish the full support.
According to Intel SDM Chapter 25.2 Other Causes of VM Exits,
SIPIs cause VM exits when a logical processor is in
wait-for-SIPI state.
In this patch:
1. introduce SIPI exit reason,
2. introduce wait-for-SIPI state for nVMX,
3. advertise wait-for-SIPI support to guest.
When L1 hypervisor is not monitoring Local APIC, L0 need to emulate
INIT-VMExit and SIPI-VMExit to L1 to emulate INIT-SIPI-SIPI for
L2. L2 LAPIC write would be traped by L0 Hypervisor(KVM), L0 should
emulate the INIT/SIPI vmexit to L1 hypervisor to set proper state
for L2's vcpu state.
Handle procdure:
Source vCPU:
L2 write LAPIC.ICR(INIT).
L0 trap LAPIC.ICR write(INIT): inject a latched INIT event to target
vCPU.
Target vCPU:
L0 emulate an INIT VMExit to L1 if is guest mode.
L1 set guest VMCS, guest_activity_state=WAIT_SIPI, vmresume.
L0 halt vCPU if (vmcs12.guest_activity_state == WAIT_SIPI).
Source vCPU:
L2 write LAPIC.ICR(SIPI).
L0 trap LAPIC.ICR write(INIT): inject a latched SIPI event to traget
vCPU.
Target vCPU:
L0 emulate an SIPI VMExit to L1 if (vmcs12.guest_activity_state ==
WAIT_SIPI).
L1 set CS:IP, guest_activity_state=ACTIVE, vmresume
L0 resume to L2
L2 start-up
