Hi Sean!
So, I decided to stop beeing lazy and to understand how KVM actually treats the whole thing:
- kvm_apic_set_xapic_id - called when apic id changes either by guest write,
cpu reset or x2apic beeing disabled due to write to apic base msr.
apic register is updated, and apic map is recalculated
- kvm_apic_set_x2apic_id - called only when apic base write (guest or userspace),
enables x2apic. caller uses vcpu->vcpu_id explicity
- kvm_apic_state_fixup - when apic state is uploaded by userspace, has check
that check for x2apic api. Also triggers apic map update
- kvm_recalculate_apic_map
this updates the apic map that we use in IPI emulation.
- xapic id (aka APIC_ID >> 24) is only used for APICs which are not in xapic mode.
- x2apic ids (aka vcpu->vcpu_id) are used for all APICs which are in x2apic mode,
and also (as a hack, when an apic has vcpu_id > 255, even if not in x2apic mode,
its x2apic id is still put in the map)
Conclusions:
- Practically speaking, when an apic is in x2apic mode, even if userspace uploaded
non standard APIC_ID, it is ignored, and just read back (garbage in - garbage out)
- Non standard APIC ID is lost when switching to x2apic mode.
Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
PS: sending this so this info is not lost.
Thankfully my APICv inhibit patch got accepted upstream,
so one issue less to deal with.
