Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

Since accumulate_steal_time is now only called in record_steal_time, it
doesn't quite make sense to put the delta calculation in a separate

enables the steal time MSR (though the compiler may optimize out this
function call). And after it's enabled, the MSR enable bit is tested twice
every time. Removing the accumulate_steal_time function also avoids the
necessity of having the accum_steal field.

Windows lets applications choose the frequency of the timer tick,
and in Windows 10 the maximum rate was changed from 1024 Hz to
2048 Hz. Unfortunately, because of the way the Windows API
works, most applications who need a higher rate than the default
64 Hz will just do
timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(tc));
timeBeginPeriod(tc.wPeriodMin);
and pick the maximum rate. This causes very high CPU usage when
playing media or games on Windows 10, even if the guest does not
actually use the CPU very much, because the frequent timer tick
causes halt_poll_ns to kick in.
There is no really good solution, especially because Microsoft
could sooner or later bump the limit to 4096 Hz, but for now
the best we can do is lower a bit the upper limit for
halt_poll_ns. :-(

Per Hyper-V specification (and as required by Hyper-V-aware guests),
SynIC provides 4 per-vCPU timers. Each timer is programmed via a pair
of MSRs, and signals expiration by delivering a special format message
to the configured SynIC message slot and triggering the corresponding
synthetic interrupt.
Note: as implemented by this patch, all periodic timers are "lazy"
(i.e. if the vCPU wasn't scheduled for more than the timer period the
timer events are lost), regardless of the corresponding configuration
MSR. If deemed necessary, the "catch up" mode (the timer period is
shortened until the timer catches up) will be implemented later.

SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
- 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
semantics
- a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
slots
- an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
event flag areas
The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
MSR.
The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
mapping.
Changes v4:
* added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP

The decision on whether to use hardware APIC virtualization used to be
taken globally, based on the availability of the feature in the CPU
and the value of a module parameter.
However, under certain circumstances we want to control it on per-vcpu
basis. In particular, when the userspace activates HyperV synthetic
interrupt controller (SynIC), APICv has to be disabled as it's
incompatible with SynIC auto-EOI behavior.
To achieve that, introduce 'apicv_active' flag on struct
kvm_vcpu_arch, and kvm_vcpu_deactivate_apicv() function to turn APICv
off. The flag is initialized based on the module parameter and CPU
capability, and consulted whenever an APICv-specific action is
performed.

In order to enable userspace PIC support, the userspace PIC needs to
be able to inject local interrupts even when the APICs are in the
kernel.
KVM_INTERRUPT now supports sending local interrupts to an APIC when
APICs are in the kernel.
The ready_for_interrupt_request flag is now only set when the CPU/APIC
will immediately accept and inject an interrupt (i.e. APIC has not
masked the PIC).
When the PIC wishes to initiate an INTA cycle with, say, CPU0, it
kicks CPU0 out of the guest, and renedezvous with CPU0 once it arrives
in userspace.
When the CPU/APIC unmasks the PIC, a KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN is
triggered, so that userspace has a chance to inject a PIC interrupt
if it had been pending.
Overall, this design can lead to a small number of spurious userspace
renedezvous. In particular, whenever the PIC transistions from low to
high while it is masked and whenever the PIC becomes unmasked while
it is low.
Note: this does not buffer more than one local interrupt in the
kernel, so the VMM needs to enter the guest in order to complete
interrupt injection before injecting an additional interrupt.
Compiles for x86.
Can pass the KVM Unit Tests.

In order to support a userspace IOAPIC interacting with an in kernel
APIC, the EOI exit bitmaps need to be configurable.
If the IOAPIC is in userspace (i.e. the irqchip has been split), the
EOI exit bitmaps will be set whenever the GSI Routes are configured.
In particular, for the low MSI routes are reservable for userspace
IOAPICs. For these MSI routes, the EOI Exit bit corresponding to the
destination vector of the route will be set for the destination VCPU.
The intention is for the userspace IOAPICs to use the reservable MSI
routes to inject interrupts into the guest.
This is a slight abuse of the notion of an MSI Route, given that MSIs
classically bypass the IOAPIC. It might be worthwhile to add an
additional route type to improve clarity.

We can reuse the algorithm that computes the EOI exit bitmap to figure
out which vectors are handled by the IOAPIC. The only difference
between the two is for edge-triggered interrupts other than IRQ8
that have no notifiers active; however, the IOAPIC does not have to
do anything special for these interrupts anyway.
This again limits the interactions between the IOAPIC and the LAPIC,
making it easier to move the former to userspace.

We observed some performance degradation on s390x with dynamic
halt polling. Until we can provide a proper fix, let's enable
halt_poll_ns as default only for supported architectures.
Architectures are now free to set their own halt_poll_ns
default value.

This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.
