Suravee Suthikulpanit 7223fd2d53 KVM: SVM: Use target APIC ID to complete AVIC IRQs when possible
Currently, an AVIC-enabled VM suffers from performance bottleneck
when scaling to large number of vCPUs for I/O intensive workloads.

In such case, a vCPU often executes halt instruction to get into idle state
waiting for interrupts, in which KVM would de-schedule the vCPU from
physical CPU.

When AVIC HW tries to deliver interrupt to the halting vCPU, it would
result in AVIC incomplete IPI #vmexit to notify KVM to reschedule
the target vCPU into running state.

Investigation has shown the main hotspot is in the kvm_apic_match_dest()
in the following call stack where it tries to find target vCPUs
corresponding to the information in the ICRH/ICRL registers.

  - handle_exit
    - svm_invoke_exit_handler
      - avic_incomplete_ipi_interception
        - kvm_apic_match_dest

However, AVIC provides hints in the #vmexit info, which can be used to
retrieve the destination guest physical APIC ID.

In addition, since QEMU defines guest physical APIC ID to be the same as
vCPU ID, it can be used to quickly identify the target vCPU to deliver IPI,
and avoid the overhead from searching through all vCPUs to match the target
vCPU.
