[PATCH 0/4] KVM: Clean up "preempted in-kernel" logic

[Sean Christopherson]

Provide a dedicated helper to query if a *different* vCPU was preempted
in-kernel.  x86's VMX is an oddball and can only check if the vCPU is in
kernel (versus userspace) if the vCPU is loaded on the current pCPU.

The existing kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() "works", but it's an ugly mess as
KVM x86 is forced to check kvm_get_running_vcpu() to effectively undo the
multiplexing.

Note, I was sorely tempted to eliminate kvm_arch_dy_has_pending_interrupt()
and bury that logic in VMX code, but I ultimately decided to keep it as an
arch hook as it's entirely plausible that some other architecture can do
cross-vCPU IRQ checks, and if KVM is going to have the (somewhat dubious
IMO) logic, it's probably best to keep it in common code.

Sean Christopherson (4):
  KVM: Add dedicated arch hook for querying if vCPU was preempted
    in-kernel
  KVM: x86: Rely solely on preempted_in_kernel flag for directed yield
  KVM: x86: Clean up directed yield API for "has pending interrupt"
  KVM: Add a comment explaining the directed yield pending interrupt
    logic
