[Xen-devel] [RFC v2 00/15] Add VT-d Posted-Interrupts support

[Feng Wu <feng.wu@xxxxxxxxx>]

VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.

You can find the VT-d Posted-Interrtups Spec. in the following URL:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/vt-directed-io-spec.html

This patch set follow the following design:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/236476

v1 -> v2
1. Add the design doc.
2. Coding style fix.
3. Add some comments for struct pi_desc.
4. Extend 'struct iremap_entry' to a more common format.
5. Delete the atomic helper functions for pi descriptor manipulation.
6. Add the new command line in docs/misc/xen-command-line.markdown.
7. Use macros to replace some magic numbers.

One open in "[RFC v2 07/15] vt-d: Add API to update IRTE when VT-d PI is used"
How to update the IRTE for PI dynamically (in an atomic way)? I am trying
to use cmpxchg16b and it is in progress, I will add this in the next version.

Feng Wu (15):
  Vt-d Posted-intterrupt (PI) design
  iommu: Add iommu_intpost to control VT-d Posted-Interrupts feature
  vt-d: VT-d Posted-Interrupts feature detection
  vmx: Extend struct pi_desc to support VT-d Posted-Interrupts
  vmx: Initialize VT-d Posted-Interrupts Descriptor
  vt-d: Extend struct iremap_entry to support VT-d Posted-Interrupts
  vt-d: Add API to update IRTE when VT-d PI is used
  Update IRTE according to guest interrupt config changes
  Add a new per-vCPU tasklet to wakeup the blocked vCPU
  vmx: Define two per-cpu variables
  vmx: Add a global wake-up vector for VT-d Posted-Interrupts
  vmx: Properly handle notification event when vCPU is running
  Update Posted-Interrupts Descriptor during vCPU scheduling
  Suppress posting interrupts when 'SN' is set
  Add a command line parameter for VT-d posted-interrupts
