Subject: [patch V4 15/15] x86/kvm: Use generic exit to guest work function

Use the generic infrastructure to check for and handle pending work before
entering into guest mode.

This now handles TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME as well which was ignored so
far. Handling it is important as this covers task work and task work will
be used to offload the heavy lifting of POSIX CPU timers to thread context.

I whined about this back in v2[*]. "exit to guest mode" is confusing becuase
virt terminology is "enter to guest" and "exit from guest", whereas the
kernel's terminology here is "exit from kernel to guest".

My past and current self still like XFER_TO_GUEST as the base terminology.

This loses the stat.signal_exits accounting. Maybe this?

if (r) {
if (r == -EINTR)
++vcpu->stat.signal_exits;
return r;
}

Forgot about that, sorry. Will fix.

No, it does not:

+ if (ti_work & _TIF_SIGPENDING) {
+ kvm_handle_signal_exit(vcpu);
+ return -EINTR;
+ }

and

+#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_EXIT_TO_GUEST_WORK
+static inline void kvm_handle_signal_exit(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
+{
+ vcpu->run->exit_reason = KVM_EXIT_INTR;
+ vcpu->stat.signal_exits++;
+}
+#endif /* CONFIG_KVM_EXIT_TO_GUEST_WORK */

in patch 5/15

Thanks,
