KVM: x86: emulate wait-for-SIPI and SIPI-VMExit
Background: We have a lightweight HV, it needs INIT-VMExit and
SIPI-VMExit to wake-up APs for guests since it do not monitor
the Local APIC. But currently virtual wait-for-SIPI(WFS) state
is not supported in nVMX, so when running on top of KVM, the L1
HV cannot receive the INIT-VMExit and SIPI-VMExit which cause
the L2 guest cannot wake up the APs.
According to Intel SDM Chapter 25.2 Other Causes of VM Exits,
SIPIs cause VM exits when a logical processor is in
wait-for-SIPI state.
In this patch:
1. introduce SIPI exit reason,
2. introduce wait-for-SIPI state for nVMX,
3. advertise wait-for-SIPI support to guest.
When L1 hypervisor is not monitoring Local APIC, L0 need to emulate
INIT-VMExit and SIPI-VMExit to L1 to emulate INIT-SIPI-SIPI for
L2. L2 LAPIC write would be traped by L0 Hypervisor(KVM), L0 should
emulate the INIT/SIPI vmexit to L1 hypervisor to set proper state
for L2's vcpu state.
Handle procdure:
Source vCPU:
L2 write LAPIC.ICR(INIT).
L0 trap LAPIC.ICR write(INIT): inject a latched INIT event to target
vCPU.
Target vCPU:
L0 emulate an INIT VMExit to L1 if is guest mode.
L1 set guest VMCS, guest_activity_state=WAIT_SIPI, vmresume.
L0 set vcpu.mp_state to INIT_RECEIVED if (vmcs12.guest_activity_state
== WAIT_SIPI).
Source vCPU:
L2 write LAPIC.ICR(SIPI).
L0 trap LAPIC.ICR write(INIT): inject a latched SIPI event to traget
vCPU.
Target vCPU:
L0 emulate an SIPI VMExit to L1 if (vcpu.mp_state == INIT_RECEIVED).
L1 set CS:IP, guest_activity_state=ACTIVE, vmresume.
L0 resume to L2.
L2 start-up.
