[PATCH v2] KVM: x86: avoid redundant REQ_EVENT
From: Denis Plotnikov
Date: Wed Dec 14 2016 - 05:59:22 EST
When processing KVM_REQ_EVENT, apic_update_ppr is called which may set
KVM_REQ_EVENT again if the recalculated value of PPR becomes smaller
than the previous one. This results in cancelling the guest entry and
reiterating in vcpu_enter_guest.
However this is unnecessary because at this point KVM_REQ_EVENT is
already being processed and there are no other changes in the lapic
that may require full-fledged state recalculation.
This situation is often hit on systems with TPR shadow, where the
TPR can be updated by the guest without a vmexit, so that the first
apic_update_ppr to notice it is exactly the one called while
processing KVM_REQ_EVENT.
To avoid it, introduce a parameter in apic_update_ppr allowing to
suppress setting of KVM_REQ_EVENT, and use it on the paths called from
KVM_REQ_EVENT processing.
Also add the parameter to kvm_cpu_get_interrupt to be passed through
to apic_update_ppr to make sure the supression of KVM_REQ_EVENT is done
in the KVM_REQ_EVENT processing path only.
This microoptimization gives 10% performance increase on a synthetic
test doing a lot of IPC in Windows using window messages.
