SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
- 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
semantics
- a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
slots
- an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
event flag areas
The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
MSR.
The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
mapping.
Changes v4:
* added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
* added per SynIC active flag
* added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation
Changes v3:
* added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into
docs
Changes v2:
* do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
* add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap
* Hyper-V SyniIC SINT msr write logic simplified
