[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: X86: Implement PV send IPI support

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 06:14:52 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

Even if enable qemu interrupt remapping and PV TLB Shootdown, I can still
observe ~14% performance boost by ebizzy benchmark for 64 vCPUs VM, the
total msr-induced vmexits reduce ~70%.
