From: Yang Zhang <yang.z.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> The two patches are adding the Posted Interrupt supporting to KVM: The first patch enables the feature 'acknowledge interrupt on vmexit'.Since it is required by Posted interrupt, we need to enable it firstly. And the second patch is adding the posted interrupt supporting. Please see the comments in the two patch to get more details. Changes from v3 to v4: * Clear up the vmx_handle_external_interrupt() to make the code more cleanliness and clear. * Use lock to protect the access of pir. * Check pending interrupt in pir firstly in vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt(). Since hardware will sync pir->irr, if check irr firstly, then the irr may be modified after the checking, and we also cannot see it in the following check of pir. * Wrap the operation of sync pir to irr to a function kvm_apic_update_irr(), and call it from vmx_sync_pir_to_irr. * Use irr |= pir directly instead using cmpxchg. Since hardware cannot perform pir->irr at this point, so it is safe to use 'or' to sync pir to irr. Changes from v2 to v3: * Add CONFIG_HAVE_KVM check when calling BUILD_INTERRUPT for posted interrupt. * Rename send_notification_event() to deliver_posted_interrupt(). * Modify the algorithm of calculating interrupt coalescence: interrupt will be considered as delivered only when there is no previous interrupt pending in both irr and pir. * Remove using new request to sync pir to irr, use KVM_REQ_EVENT for instead. * Remove the optimization of checking outsanding notification bit after sending posted interrupt to remote cpu. * Embed pi_desc inside struct vmx instead allocating it dynamically. * Rebase on top of KVM upstream.
