CHANGES FROM RFC PATCH (v1):
=========================
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-09/msg01815.html
  * Rebased to Xen-4.8
  * Miscellaneous styling changes based on review comments from Konrad, Jan.
  * Add key handle for dumping AVIC-related statistics.
  * Add a new section in xen-command-line.markdown regarding the svm-avic option.
  * [From Konrad comments]
    - Fix avic_handle_dfr_update() in patch 6/10. Previously, the avic_last_ldr
      was incorrectly declared as per-domain, while it should have been
      per-vcpu.
    - Fix the logic in avic_handle_dfr_update(). The APIC logical id table
      (d->avic_log_ait_mfn) is per domain. So, clear_domain_page() should
      have been executed by the first vcpu that changes the domain DFR, and
      not every vcpu.
  * [From Konrad comments]
    - Replace arch_svm_struct.avic_bk_pg with vlapic->regs_page.
    - Rename avic_vcpu_put() to avic_vcpu_unload().
    - Fix logic to not intercept CR8.

OVERVIEW
========
This patch set is the first of the two-part patch series to introduce 
the new AMD Advance Virtual Interrupt Controller (AVIC) support.

Basically, SVM AVIC hardware virtualizes local APIC registers of each
vCPU via the virtual APIC (vAPIC) backing page. This allows guest access
to certain APIC registers without the need to emulate the hardware behavior
in the hypervisor. More information about AVIC can be found in the
AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2 - System Programming.

  http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/24593.pdf

For SVM AVIC, we extend the existing SVM driver to:
  * Check CPUID to detect AVIC support in the processor
  * Program new fields in VMCB to enable AVIC
  * Introduce new AVIC data structures and add code to manage them
  * Handle two new AVIC #VMEXITs
  * Add new interrupt injection code using vAPIC backing page
    instead of the existing V_IRQ, V_INTR_PRIO, V_INTR_VECTOR,
    and V_IGN_TPR fields

Currently, this patch series does not enable AVIC by default since
it does not support nested-VM yet. Until then, users can enable
SVM AVIC by specifying Xen parameter svm-avic=1.

Later, in part 2, we will introduce the IOMMU AVIC support, which
provides speed up for PCI device pass-through use case by allowing
the IOMMU hardware to inject interrupt directly into the guest via
the vAPIC backing page.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE
===================
Currently, AVIC is available on the AMD family 15h models 6Xh
(Carrizo) processors and newer. Here, the Carizzo is used to collect
performance data shown below.

Generally, SVM AVIC alone (w/o IOMMU AVIC) should provide overall speed up
for HVM guest since it does not require #vmexit into the hypervisor to
emulate certain guest accesses to local APIC registers.

It should also improve performance when hypervisor wants to inject
interrupts into a running vcpu by setting the corresponded IRR
bit in the vAPIC backing page and trigger AVIC_DOORBELL MSR.

For sending IPI interrupts between running vcpus in Linux guest,
Xen is default to using event channel.  However, in case of
non-paravirtualize guest, AVIC can also provide performance
improvements for sending IPI.

BENCHMARK 1: HACKBENCH
======================

For measuring IPI performance used for scheduling workload, I have collected
some performance number on 2 and 3 CPU running hackbech with the following
detail:

  hackbench -p -l 100000
  Running in process mode with 10 groups using 40 file descriptors each (== 400 tasks)
  Each sender will pass 100000 messages of 100 bytes

                         |  2 vcpus (sec) |  3 vcpus (sec)   
  --------------------------------------------------------
    No AVIC w/  xen_nopv |     299.57     |    337.779
    No AVIC w/o xen_nopv |     270.37     |    419.6064 
       AVIC w/o xen_nopv |     181.46     |    171.7957
       AVIC w/  xen_nopv |     171.81     |    169.0858

CURRENT UNTESTED USE-CASES
===========================
    - Nested VM

Any feedback and comments are very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Suravee
