From 1704a81ccebc69b5223220df97cde8a645271828 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 08:47:08 +1100 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for IPIs to other cores on POWER9 On POWER9, the msgsnd instruction is able to send interrupts to other cores, as well as other threads on the local core. Since msgsnd is generally simpler and faster than sending an IPI via the XICS, we use msgsnd for all IPIs sent by KVM on POWER9.
