Subject: [PATCH v1 8/9] x86/cpufeatures: Add CPUID feature bit for Extended LVT AVIC acceleration
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 07:44:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204074452.55453-9-manali.shukla@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260204074452.55453-1-manali.shukla@amd.com>

From: Santosh Shukla <santosh.shukla@amd.com>

Local interrupts can be extended to include more LVT registers in order
to allow additional interrupt sources, like Instruction Based Sampling
(IBS).

The Extended APIC feature register indicates the number of extended
Local Vector Table (LVT) registers in the local APIC.  Currently, there
are 4 extended LVT registers available which are located at APIC offsets
(500h-530h). Future AMD processors may expose up to 255 extended LVT
registers.

The AVIC_EXTLVT (Extended LVT AVIC acceleration support) feature bit
changes the behavior associated with reading and writing an extended LVT
register when AVIC is enabled.  When the AVIC_EXTLVT and AVIC are
enabled, a write to an extended LVT register changes from a fault
style #VMEXIT to a trap style #VMEXIT and a read of an extended LVT
register no longer triggers a #VMEXIT [1].

Presence of the AVIC_EXTLVT feature is indicated via CPUID function
0x8000000A_EDX[27].
