KVM: VMX: Enable acknowledge interupt on vmexit
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature controls processor behavior
for external interrupt acknowledgement. When this control is set, the
processor acknowledges the interrupt controller to acquire the
interrupt vector on VM exit.

After enabling this feature, an interrupt which arrived when target cpu is
running in vmx non-root mode will be handled by vmx handler instead of handler
in idt. Currently, vmx handler only fakes an interrupt stack and jump to idt
table to let real handler to handle it. Further, we will recognize the interrupt
and only delivery the interrupt which not belong to current vcpu through idt table.
The interrupt which belonged to current vcpu will be handled inside vmx handler.
This will reduce the interrupt handle cost of KVM.

Also, interrupt enable logic is changed if this feature is turnning on:
Before this patch, hypervior call local_irq_enable() to enable it directly.
Now IF bit is set on interrupt stack frame, and will be enabled on a return from
interrupt handler if exterrupt interrupt exists. If no external interrupt, still
call local_irq_enable() to enable it.

Refer to Intel SDM volum 3, chapter 33.2.
