[PATCH 5/5] x86: KVM: SVM: workaround for AVIC's errata #1235

[Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com>]

On Zen2 (and likely on Zen1 as well), AVIC doesn't reliably detect a change
in the 'is_running' bit during ICR write emulation and might skip a
VM exit, if that bit was recently cleared.

The absence of the VM exit, leads to the KVM not waking up / triggering
nested vm exit on the target(s) of the IPI which can, in some cases,
lead to an unbounded delays in the guest execution.

As I recently discovered, a reasonable workaround exists: make the KVM
never set the is_running bit.

This workaround ensures that (*) all ICR writes always cause a VM exit
and therefore correctly emulated, in expense of never enjoying VM exit-less
ICR emulation.

This workaround does carry a performance penalty but according to my
benchmarks is still much better than not using AVIC at all,
because AVIC is still used for the receiving end of the IPIs, and for the
posted interrupts.

If the user is aware of the errata and it doesn't affect his workload,
the user can disable the workaround with 'avic_zen2_errata_workaround=0'

(*) More correctly all ICR writes except when 'Self' shorthand is used:

In this case AVIC skips reading physid table and just sets bits in IRR
of local APIC. Thankfully in this case, the errata is not possible,
therefore an extra workaround for this case is not needed.
