  • List-id: Xen developer discussion <xen-devel.lists.xenproject.org>

Introduce a new per-domain creation x86 specific flag to
select whether hardware assisted virtualization should be used for
x{2}APIC.

A per-domain option is added to xl in order to select the usage of
x{2}APIC hardware assisted virtualization, as well as a global
configuration option.

Having all APIC interaction exit to Xen for emulation is slow and can
induce much overhead. Hardware can speed up x{2}APIC by decoding the
APIC access and providing a VM exit with a more specific exit reason
than a regular EPT fault or by altogether avoiding a VM exit.

On the other hand, being able to disable x{2}APIC hardware assisted
virtualization can be useful for testing and debugging purposes.

Note:

- vmx_install_vlapic_mapping doesn't require modifications regardless
of whether the guest has "Virtualize APIC accesses" enabled or not,
i.e., setting the APIC_ACCESS_ADDR VMCS field is fine so long as
virtualize_apic_accesses is supported by the CPU.

- Both per-domain and global assisted_x{2}apic options are not part of
the migration stream, unless explicitly set in the respective
configuration files. Default settings of assisted_x{2}apic done
internally by the toolstack, based on host capabilities at create
time, are not migrated.

v10:
 * Improve commit message note on migration

v9:
 * Fix style issues
 * Fix exit() logic for assisted_x{2}apic parsing
 * Add and use XEN_X86_MISC_FLAGS_MAX for ABI checking instead of
   using XEN_X86_ASSISTED_X2APIC directly
 * Expand commit message to mention migration is safe

v8:
 * Widen assisted_x{2}apic parsing to PVH guests in
   parse_config_data()

v7:
 * Fix void return in libxl__arch_domain_build_info_setdefault
 * Fix style issues
 * Use EINVAL when rejecting assisted_x{2}apic for PV guests and
   ENODEV otherwise, when assisted_x{2}apic isn't supported
 * Define has_assisted_x{2}apic macros for when !CONFIG_HVM
 * Replace "EPT" fault reference with "p2m" fault since the former is
   Intel-specific

v6:
 * Use ENODEV instead of EINVAL when rejecting assisted_x{2}apic
   for PV guests
 * Move has_assisted_x{2}apic macros out of an Intel specific header
 * Remove references to Intel specific features in documentation

v5:
 * Revert v4 changes in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed(), preserving the use of
   the has_assisted_x{2}apic macros
 * Following changes in assisted_x{2}apic_available definitions in
   patch 1, retighten conditionals for setting
   XEN_HVM_CPUID_APIC_ACCESS_VIRT and XEN_HVM_CPUID_X2APIC_VIRT in
   cpuid_hypervisor_leaves()

v4:
 * Add has_assisted_x{2}apic macros and use them where appropriate
 * Replace CPU checks with per-domain assisted_x{2}apic control
   options in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed() and cpuid_hypervisor_leaves(),
   following edits to assisted_x{2}apic_available definitions in
   patch 1
   Note: new assisted_x{2}apic_available definitions make later
   cpu_has_vmx_apic_reg_virt and cpu_has_vmx_virtual_intr_delivery
   checks redundant in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed()

v3:
 * Change info in xl.cfg to better express reality and fix
   capitalization of x{2}apic
 * Move "physinfo" variable definition to the beggining of
   libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault()
 * Reposition brackets in if statement to match libxl coding style
 * Shorten logic in libxl__arch_domain_build_info_setdefault()
 * Correct dprintk message in arch_sanitise_domain_config()
 * Make appropriate changes in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed() and
   cpuid_hypervisor_leaves() for amended "assisted_x2apic" bit
 * Remove unneeded parantheses

v2:
 * Add a LIBXL_HAVE_ASSISTED_APIC macro
 * Pass xcpyshinfo as a pointer in libxl__arch_get_physinfo
 * Add a return statement in now "int"
   libxl__arch_domain_build_info_setdefault()
 * Preserve libxl__arch_domain_build_info_setdefault 's location in
   libxl_create.c
 * Correct x{2}apic default setting logic in
   libxl__arch_domain_prepare_config()
 * Correct logic for parsing assisted_x{2}apic host/guest options in
   xl_parse.c and initialize them to -1 in xl.c
 * Use guest options directly in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed
 * Fix indentation of bool assisted_x{2}apic in struct hvm_domain
 * Add a change in xenctrl_stubs.c to pass xenctrl ABI checks
