[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: hyperv: PV IPI support for Windows guests

2018-06-22 Thread Vitaly Kuznetsov
Using hypercall for sending IPIs is faster because this allows to specify any number of vCPUs (even > 64 with sparse CPU set), the whole procedure will take only one VMEXIT. Same as PV TLB flush, this allows Windows guests having > 64 vCPUs to boot on KVM when Hyper-V extensions are enabled.
