Wanpeng Li d73eb57b80 KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts 
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates.  This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).

Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M

            vanilla     boosting    improved
1VM          21443       23520         9%
2VM           2800        8000       180%
3VM           1800        3100        72%

Testing on my Haswell desktop 8 HT, with 8 vCPUs VM 8GB RAM, two VMs,
one running ebizzy -M, the other running 'stress --cpu 2':

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
