4180bf1b65 KVM: X86: Implement "send IPI" hypercall
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):

955d8dc3ee KVM: MIPS: Implement HYPCALL emulation
Emulate the HYPCALL instruction added in the VZ ASE and used by the MIPS
paravirtualised guest support that is already merged. The new hypcall.c
handles arguments and the return value. No actual hypercalls are yet
supported, but this still allows us to safely step over hypercalls and
set an error code in the return value for forward compatibility.

Non-zero HYPCALL codes are not handled.

We also document the hypercall ABI which asm/kvm_para.h uses.

55dd00a73a KVM: x86: add KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING hypercall
Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock and the TSC value
used to calculate that clock read.

Used to implement clock synchronization between host and guest.

9bc6cbebfe Documentation/kvm : Add documentation on Hypercalls and features used for PV spinlock
KVM_HC_KICK_CPU  hypercall added to wakeup halted vcpu in paravirtual spinlock
enabled guest.

KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT enables guest to check whether pv spinlock can be enabled
in guest.

Thanks Vatsa for rewriting KVM_HC_KICK_CPU
