2020-06-04KVM: MIPS: Add Loongson-3 Virtual IPI interrupt supportHuacai Chen1-0/+214
This patch add Loongson-3 Virtual IPI interrupt support in the kernel. The current implementation of IPI emulation in QEMU is based on GIC for MIPS, but Loongson-3 doesn't use GIC. Furthermore, IPI emulation in QEMU is too expensive for performance (because of too many context switches between Host and Guest). With current solution, the IPI delay may even cause RCU stall warnings in a multi-core Guest. So, we design a faster solution that emulate IPI interrupt in kernel (only used by Loongson-3 now).
