The generic KVM has support for VCPU requests which can be used
to do arch-specific work in the run-loop. We introduce remote
HFENCE functions which will internally use VCPU requests instead
of host SBI calls.
Advantages of doing remote HFENCEs as VCPU requests are:
1) Multiple VCPUs of a Guest may be running on different Host CPUs
so it is not always possible to determine the Host CPU mask for
doing Host SBI call. For example, when VCPU X wants to do HFENCE
on VCPU Y, it is possible that VCPU Y is blocked or in user-space
(i.e. vcpu->cpu < 0).
2) To support nested virtualization, we will be having a separate
shadow G-stage for each VCPU and a common host G-stage for the
entire Guest/VM. The VCPU requests based remote HFENCEs helps
us easily synchronize the common host G-stage and shadow G-stage
of each VCPU without any additional IPI calls.
This is also a preparatory patch for upcoming nested virtualization
support where we will be having a shadow G-stage page table for
each Guest VCPU.
