Cover letter [PATCH v5 0/5] Nonatomic interrupt injection
This patchset changes interrupt injection to be done from normal process context instead of interrupts disabled context. This is useful for real mode interrupt injection on Intel without the current hacks (injecting as a software interrupt of a vm86 task), reducing latencies, and later, for allowing nested virtualization code to use kvm_read_guest()/kvm_write_guest() instead of kmap() to access the guest vmcb/vmcs.
Seems to survive a hack that cancels every 16th entry, after injection has already taken place.
With the PIC reset fix posted earlier, this passes autotest on both AMD and Intel, with in-kernel irqchip. I'll run -no-kvm-irqchip tests shortly.
Please review carefully, esp. the first patch. Any missing kvm_make_request() there may result in a hung guest.
v5: add KVM_REQ_EVENT to KVM_INTERRUPT path
change first patch to sample KVM_REQ_EVENT before checking vcpu->requests
for the entry abort path; improves bisectability (noticed by Gleb)
v4: add KVM_REQ_EVENT after lapic restore
v3: close new race between injection and entry
fix Intel real-mode injection cancellation
v2: svm support (easier than expected)
fix silly vmx warning
