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.

KVM CPUID bits
|

|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
A guest running on a kvm host, can check some of its features using
|
|
cpuid. This is not always guaranteed to work, since userspace can
|
|
mask-out some, or even all KVM-related cpuid features before launching
|
|
a guest.
|
|
|
|
KVM cpuid functions are:
|
|
|
|
function: KVM_CPUID_SIGNATURE (0x40000000)
|
|
returns : eax = 0x40000001,
|
|
ebx = 0x4b4d564b,
|
|
ecx = 0x564b4d56,
|
|
edx = 0x4d.
|
|
Note that this value in ebx, ecx and edx corresponds to the string "KVMKVMKVM".
|
|
The value in eax corresponds to the maximum cpuid function present in this leaf,
|
|
and will be updated if more functions are added in the future.
|
|
Note also that old hosts set eax value to 0x0. This should
|
|
be interpreted as if the value was 0x40000001.
|
|
This function queries the presence of KVM cpuid leafs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
function: define KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001)
|
|
returns : ebx, ecx
|
|
eax = an OR'ed group of (1 << flag), where each flags is:

|

|
|
|
flag || value || meaning
