KVM: X86: Yield to IPI target if necessary When sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, yield if any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted, we just select the first preempted target vCPU which we found since the state of target vCPUs can change underneath and to avoid race conditions.

KVM: X86: Implement "send IPI" hypercall Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster mode. Intel guest can enter x2apic cluster mode when interrupt remmaping is enabled in qemu, however, latest AMD EPYC still just supports xapic mode which can get great improvement by Exit-less IPIs. This patchset lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128 destinations per hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per hypercall in 32-bit mode. Hardware: Xeon Skylake 2.5GHz, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads, the VM is 80 vCPUs, IPI microbenchmark(https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/19/141): x2apic cluster mode, vanilla Dry-run: 0, 2392199 ns Self-IPI: 6907514, 15027589 ns Normal IPI: 223910476, 251301666 ns Broadcast IPI: 0, 9282161150 ns Broadcast lock: 0, 8812934104 ns x2apic cluster mode, pv-ipi Dry-run: 0, 2449341 ns Self-IPI: 6720360, 15028732 ns Normal IPI: 228643307, 255708477 ns Broadcast IPI: 0, 7572293590 ns => 22% performance boost Broadcast lock: 0, 8316124651 ns x2apic physical mode, vanilla Dry-run: 0, 3135933 ns Self-IPI: 8572670, 17901757 ns Normal IPI: 226444334, 255421709 ns Broadcast IPI: 0, 19845070887 ns Broadcast lock: 0, 19827383656 ns x2apic physical mode, pv-ipi Dry-run: 0, 2446381 ns Self-IPI: 6788217, 15021056 ns Normal IPI: 219454441, 249583458 ns Broadcast IPI: 0, 7806540019 ns => 154% performance boost Broadcast lock: 0, 9143618799 ns Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Cc: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.
