[PATCH 1/4] KVM: x86: Expose per-vCPU APICv status

From: Alejandro Jimenez
Date: Mon Apr 29 2024 - 11:58:09 EST


Expose the APICv activation status of individual vCPUs via the stats
subsystem. In special cases a vCPU's APICv can be deactivated/disabled
even though there are no VM-wide inhibition reasons. The only current
example of this is AVIC for a vCPU running in nested mode. This type of
inhibition is not recorded in the VM inhibit reasons or visible in
current tracepoints.
