KVM: X86: Implement "send IPI" hypercall
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for
xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster
mode. Intel guest can enter x2apic cluster mode when interrupt remmaping
is enabled in qemu, however, latest AMD EPYC still just supports xapic
mode which can get great improvement by Exit-less IPIs. This patchset
lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128 destinations per
hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per hypercall in 32-bit mode.

Hardware: Xeon Skylake 2.5GHz, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads, the VM
is 80 vCPUs, IPI microbenchmark(https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/19/141):

6. KVM_HC_SEND_IPI
------------------------
Architecture: x86
Status: active
Purpose: Send IPIs to multiple vCPUs.

a0: lower part of the bitmap of destination APIC IDs
a1: higher part of the bitmap of destination APIC IDs
a2: the lowest APIC ID in bitmap
a3: APIC ICR

The hypercall lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128
128 destinations per hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per
hypercall in 32-bit mode. The destinations are represented by a
bitmap contained in the first two arguments (a0 and a1). Bit 0 of
a0 corresponds to the APIC ID in the third argument (a2), bit 1
corresponds to the APIC ID a2+1, and so on.

Returns the number of CPUs to which the IPIs were delivered successfully.
