[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: deliver IOAPIC scan request only to the target vCPUs

[Nitesh Narayan Lal]

IOAPIC scan requests with fixed delivery mode should only be delivered to the
vCPUs specified by the destination ID.
The second patch in this patch-set introduces an additional
kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which retrieves a bitmap with bits set for each
target vCPUs. This bitmap is later passed on to the
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask().

I have re-used the patch sent by Radim KrÄmÃÅ, which adds the support to
remember the position of each vCPUs in kvm->vcpus array.
As I needed to find out the vCPUs index in kvm->vcpus array for setting the
bits in the bitmap corresponding to the target vCPUs.

This support will enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated
vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN. With the current
implementation, the KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN is flushed on to all the vCPUs even
if it is meant for just one of them.

Testing:
I have added the support for testing IOAPIC logical and physical destination
mode under Fixed Delivery mode to kvm-unit-test and used it to test this patch.

Tested the scenario where kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() returns false in
kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() using the same patch-set mentioned above.

Changes from v1:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/6/535
- Renamed vcpus_idx to vcpu_idx.
- Fixed a bug in kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask(), which would have triggered when
 kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() returned false.
- Removed kvm_make_cpus_request_mask() from kvm_main.c. Now, I am directly
 calling kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() from
 kvm_make_scan_ioapic_request_mask().
