Boris Ostrovsky 14520c92cb xen/pci: Use APIC directly when APIC virtualization hardware is available ... When hardware supports APIC/x2APIC virtualization we don't need to use pirqs for MSI handling and instead use APIC since most APIC accesses (MMIO or MSR) will now be processed without VMEXITs. As an example, netperf on the original code produces this profile (collected wih 'xentrace -e 0x0008ffff -T 5'): 342 cpu_change 260 CPUID 34638 HLT 64067 INJ_VIRQ 28374 INTR 82733 INTR_WINDOW 10 NPF 24337 TRAP 370610 vlapic_accept_pic_intr 307528 VMENTRY 307527 VMEXIT 140998 VMMCALL 127 wrap_buffer After applying this patch the same test shows 230 cpu_change 260 CPUID 36542 HLT 174 INJ_VIRQ 27250 INTR 222 INTR_WINDOW 20 NPF 24999 TRAP 381812 vlapic_accept_pic_intr 166480 VMENTRY 166479 VMEXIT 77208 VMMCALL 81 wrap_buffer ApacheBench results (ab -n 10000 -c 200) improve by about 10% Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>		2014-12-04 13:02:43 +00:00
