VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from

I don't want to recompile stuff, does it matter to have hv_vapic on at all?

You'd better try the commit fc57ac2c9ca :-)

Sure, but I am little confused as KVM is part of linux kernel now, if
I want to try it, should I just upgrade kernel or compile kvm kernel
module by myself ?!

You can just apply the patch to kvm module and rebuild it.

Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the first release of KVMGT project. KVMGT is the
implementation of Intel GVT-g technology, a full GPU virtualization solution.
Under Intel GVT-g, a virtual GPU instance is maintained for each VM, with part
of performance critical resources directly
what does vapic affect Windows 7 at all if I disable it? if it just a
minor performance drop, I am fine with that.

hv_vapic provides accelerated MSR access to high usage memory mapped APIC
registers, EOI, ICR, TPR.
You can gain performance promotion from it, not too much,
but it also depends on
Currently the calculations of stolen time for PPC Book3S HV guests
uses fields in both the vcpu struct and the kvmppc_vcore struct. The
fields in the kvmppc_vcore struct are protected by the
vcpu-arch.tbacct_lock of the vcpu that has taken responsibility for
running the virtual core. This works
I see, so it's minor performance gain, and not stability related
option which is good.
I am checking http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13.11.5-trusty/,
changelog showing lsr function is included, but when I download and
extract kvm.ko out then run nm kvm.ko | grep lsr, nothing
Is this the correct function?
kvm_lapic_set_eoi
I found that one tho.

No, see the detail of commit fc57ac2c9ca,

you can reenter a guest at 0x8000 after e.g. a VMCALL vmexit and

This patch adds trace points in the guest entry and exit code and also
for exceptions handled by the host in kernel mode - hypercalls and page
faults. The new events are added to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events
under a new subsystem called kvm_hv.
