Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] KVM: VMX: FIXED+PHYSICAL mode single target IPI fastpath

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

ICR and TSCDEADLINE MSRs write cause the main MSRs write vmexits in 
our product observation, multicast IPIs are not as common as unicast 
IPI like RESCHEDULE_VECTOR and CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE_VECTOR etc.

This patch tries to optimize x2apic physical destination mode, fixed 
delivery mode single target IPI. The fast path is invoked at 
->handle_exit_irqoff() to emulate only the effect of the ICR write
itself, i.e. the sending of IPIs.  Sending IPIs early in the VM-Exit
flow reduces the latency of virtual IPIs by avoiding the expensive bits
of transitioning from guest to host, e.g. reacquiring KVM's SRCU lock.
Especially when running guest w/ KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS capability 
enabled or guest can keep running, IPI can be injected to target vCPU 
by posted-interrupt immediately.

Testing on Xeon Skylake server:

The virtual IPI latency from sender send to receiver receive reduces 
more than 200+ cpu cycles.

v2 -> v3:
 * for both VMX and SVM
 * vmx_handle_exit() get second parameter by value and not by pointer
 * rename parameter to “accel_exit_completion”
 * preserve tracepoint ordering
 * rename handler to handle_accel_set_msr_irqoff and more generic
 * add comments above handle_accel_set_msr_irqoff
 * msr index APIC_BASE_MSR + (APIC_ICR >> 4)
v1 -> v2:
 * add tracepoint
 * Instead of a separate vcpu->fast_vmexit, set exit_reason
  to vmx->exit_reason to -1 if the fast path succeeds.
 * move the "kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(vcpu)" to vmx_handle_exit
 * moving the handling into vmx_handle_exit_irqoff()
