[PATCH v2 08/13] x86/irq: Install posted MSI notification handler

[Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com>]

All MSI vectors are multiplexed into a single notification vector when
posted MSI is enabled. It is the responsibility of the notification
vector handler to demultiplex MSI vectors. In this handler, for each
pending bit, MSI vector handlers are dispatched without IDT delivery.

For example, the interrupt flow will change as follows:
(3 MSIs of different vectors arrive in a a high frequency burst)

BEFORE:
interrupt(MSI)
    irq_enter()
    handler() /* EOI */
    irq_exit()
        process_softirq()
interrupt(MSI)
    irq_enter()
    handler() /* EOI */
    irq_exit()
        process_softirq()
interrupt(MSI)
    irq_enter()
    handler() /* EOI */
    irq_exit()
        process_softirq()

AFTER:
interrupt /* Posted MSI notification vector */
    irq_enter()
	atomic_xchg(PIR)
	handler()
	handler()
	handler()
	pi_clear_on()
    apic_eoi()
    irq_exit()
        process_softirq()

Except for the leading MSI, CPU notifications are skipped/coalesced.

For MSIs arrive at a low frequency, the demultiplexing loop does not
wait for more interrupts to coalesce. Therefore, there's no additional
latency other than the processing time.

+ * De-multiplexing posted interrupts is on the performance path, the code
+ * below is written to optimize the cache performance based on the following
+ * considerations:
+ * 1.Posted interrupt descriptor (PID) fits in a cache line that is frequently
+ *   accessed by both CPU and IOMMU.
+ * 2.During posted MSI processing, the CPU needs to do 64-bit read and xchg
+ *   for checking and clearing posted interrupt request (PIR), a 256 bit field
+ *   within the PID.
+ * 3.On the other side, the IOMMU does atomic swaps of the entire PID cache
+ *   line when posting interrupts and setting control bits.
+ * 4.The CPU can access the cache line a magnitude faster than the IOMMU.
+ * 5.Each time the IOMMU does interrupt posting to the PIR will evict the PID
+ *   cache line. The cache line states after each operation are as follows:
+ *   CPU		IOMMU			PID Cache line state
+ *   ---------------------------------------------------------------
+ *...read64					exclusive
+ *...lock xchg64				modified
+ *...			post/atomic swap	invalid
+ *...-------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * To reduce L1 data cache miss, it is important to avoid contention with
+ * IOMMU's interrupt posting/atomic swap. Therefore, a copy of PIR is used
+ * to dispatch interrupt handlers.
+ *
+ * In addition, the code is trying to keep the cache line state consistent
+ * as much as possible. e.g. when making a copy and clearing the PIR
+ * (assuming non-zero PIR bits are present in the entire PIR), it does:
+ *		read, read, read, read, xchg, xchg, xchg, xchg
+ * instead of:
+ *		read, xchg, read, xchg, read, xchg, read, xchg
