From: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, NMI interrupt is blindly sent to all the vCPUs when NMI
button event happens. This doesn't properly emulate real hardware on
which NMI button event triggers LINT1. Because of this, NMI is sent to
the processor even when LINT1 is maskied in LVT. For example, this
causes the problem that kdump initiated by NMI sometimes doesn't work
on KVM, because kdump assumes NMI is masked on CPUs other than CPU0.
With this patch, KVM_NMI ioctl is handled as follows.
- When in-kernel irqchip is enabled, KVM_NMI ioctl is handled as a
request of triggering LINT1 on the processor. LINT1 is emulated in
in-kernel irqchip.
- When in-kernel irqchip is disabled, KVM_NMI ioctl is handled as a
request of injecting NMI to the processor. This assumes LINT1 is
already emulated in userland.
