Subject: [PATCH v1 2/8] KVM: use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>

The problem:

On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:

1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled

This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.

The solution:

Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.

Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

cyclictest command line:

This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

Daniel writes:
Paolo asked for numbers from kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency
benchmark on mainline. The test was run 382, respectively 300 times:

  ./x86-run x86/tscdeadline_latency.flat -cpu host

with idle=poll.

The test seems not to deliver really stable numbers though most of
them are smaller which I consider a good sign:

[Patch was originaly based on the swait implementation found in the -rt
 tree. Daniel ported it to mainline's version and gathered the
 benchmark numbers for tscdeadline_latency test.]
