Subject: [PATCH v3] irqchip/gic-v4.1: Use local 4_1 ITS to generate VSGI
On multi-node GICv4.1 system, VSGI senders always use one certain 4_1 ITS,
because find_4_1_its return the first its_node in list, regardless of
which node the VSGI sender is on. This brings guest vsgi performance drop
when VM is not running on the same node as this returned ITS.
On a 2-socket environment, each with one ITS and 32 cpu, GICv4.1 enabled,
4U8G guest, 4 vcpu is running on same socket.
When VM on socket0, kvm-unit-tests ipi_hw result is 850ns.
When VM on socket1, it is 750ns. The reason is VSGI sender always
use the last reported ITS(that on socket1) to inject VSGI. The access
from cpu to other-socket ITS will cost 100ns more compared to cpu to
local ITS.
By using a local ITS, we can get 12% reduction in IPI latency.
Modify find_4_1_its to first return per-cpu local_4_1_its, which is
init when inherit the VPE table from the ITS or from another CPU.
If fail to find local 4_1 ITS, return any 4_1 ITS like before.
