[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: x86: hyper-v: Conditionally allow SynIC with APICv/AVIC

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

 



Changes since v1 (Sean):
- Use common 'enable_apicv' variable for both APICv and AVIC instead of 
 adding a new hook to 'struct kvm_x86_ops'.
- Drop unneded CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC checks from VMX/SVM code along the
 way.

Original description:

APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_HYPERV is currently unconditionally forced upon
SynIC activation as SynIC's AutoEOI is incompatible with APICv/AVIC. It is,
however, possible to track whether the feature was actually used by the
guest and only inhibit APICv/AVIC when needed.

The feature can be tested with QEMU's 'hv-passthrough' debug mode.

Note, 'avic' kvm-amd module parameter is '0' by default and thus needs to
be explicitly enabled.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (5):
  KVM: SVM: Drop unneeded CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC check for AVIC
  KVM: VMX: Drop unneeded CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC check from
    cpu_has_vmx_posted_intr()
  KVM: x86: Use common 'enable_apicv' variable for both APICv and AVIC
  KVM: x86: Invert APICv/AVIC enablement check
  KVM: x86: hyper-v: Deactivate APICv only when AutoEOI feature is in
    use
