[PATCH v4] KVM: VMX: Enable MSR-BASED TPR shadow even if APICv is inactive
From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Wed Sep 21 2016 - 19:43:41 EST
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>
I observed that kvmvapic(to optimize flexpriority=N or AMD) is used
to boost TPR access when testing kvm-unit-test/eventinj.flat tpr case
on my haswell desktop (w/ flexpriority, w/o APICv). Commit (8d14695f9542
x86, apicv: add virtual x2apic support) disable virtual x2apic mode
completely if w/o APICv, and the author also told me that windows guest
can't enter into x2apic mode when he developed the APICv feature several
years ago. However, it is not truth currently, Interrupt Remapping and
vIOMMU is added to qemu and the developers from Intel test windows 8 can
work in x2apic mode w/ Interrupt Remapping enabled recently.
This patch enables TPR shadow for virtual x2apic mode to boost
windows guest in x2apic mode even if w/o APICv.
Can pass the kvm-unit-test.

v3 -> v4:
* cleanup the else
* fix the disable/enable mistake
v2 -> v3:
* introduce a new set of bitmaps and assign them in vmx_set_msr_bitmap()
v1 -> v2:
* leverage the cached msr bitmap
