Subject: [PART2 RFC v1 0/9] iommu/AMD: Introduce IOMMU AVIC support

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit <suravee.suthikulpanit@....com>

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

In addition to the SVM AVIC, AMD IOMMU also extends the AVIC capability
to allow I/O interrupts injection directly into the virtualized guest
local APIC without the need for hypervisor intervention.

This patch series introduces a new hardware interrupt remapping (IR) mode
in AMD IOMMU driver, the Guest Virtual APIC (GA) mode. This is in contrast
to the existing "legacy" mode. The IR mode can be specified with a new
kernel parameter:

    amd_iommu_guest_ir=[ ga | legacy(default) ]

When enabling GA mode, the AMD IOMMU driver will configure device interrupt
remapping in GA mode when possible (i.e. SVM AVIC must be enabled, and if
the interrupt types are supported). Otherewise, the driver will fallback
to using the legacy IR mode.

This patch series also introduces new interfaces between SVM and IOMMU
to allow:
  * SVM driver to communicate to IOMMU with updated vcpu scheduling
    information.
  * IOMMU driver to notify SVM driver to schedule vcpu on to physical core
    handle IOMMU GALog entry.

DOCUMENTATIONS
==============
More information about SVM AVIC can be found in the
AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2 - System Programming.

More information about IOMMU AVIC can be found int the
AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (IOMMU) Specification - Rev 2.62.
