[PATCH v2 00/12] Introducing AMD x2APIC Virtualization (x2AVIC) support

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Date: Tue Apr 12 2022 - 08:39:08 EST


Previously, with AVIC, guest needs to disable x2APIC capability and
can only run in APIC mode to activate hardware-accelerated interrupt
virtualization. With x2AVIC, guest can run in x2APIC mode.
This feature is indicated by the CPUID Fn8000_000A EDX[14],
and it can be activated by setting bit 31 (enable AVIC) and
bit 30 (x2APIC mode) of VMCB offset 60h.

The mode of interrupt virtualization can dynamically change during runtime.
For example, when AVIC is enabled, the hypervisor currently keeps track of
the AVIC activation and set the VMCB bit 31 accordingly. With x2AVIC,
the guest OS can also switch between APIC and x2APIC modes during runtime.
The kvm_amd driver needs to also keep track and set the VMCB
bit 30 accordingly.

Besides, for x2AVIC, kvm_amd driver needs to disable interception for the
x2APIC MSR range to allow AVIC hardware to virtualize register accesses.

Testing:
* This series has been tested booting a Linux VM with x2APIC physical
and logical modes upto 512 vCPUs.

Changes from v1
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220405230855.15376-1-suravee.suthikulpanit@xxxxxxx/T/)
* Rebase to v5.18
* Patch 7/12: remove logic to check for x2AVIC feature.
