Subject: [PATCH v5 7/7] iommu/amd: Provide kernel command line option to enable GAPPI
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 12:15:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015064515.10700-8-sarunkod@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015064515.10700-1-sarunkod@amd.com>
Enable GAPPI when the IOMMU GAPPISup extended feature bit is set and
the kernel is booted with the amd_iommu=gappi kernel parameter.
Document the option in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
and mechanism in Documentation/arch/x86/iommu.rst.

+AMD vCPU wakeup Mechanism
+--------------------------
+
+GALOG
+^^^^^
+
+GALOG is a legacy notification path to wakeup the vCPU waiting on an interrupt.
+When IOMMU receives an interrupt destined to vCPU which is scheduled out, it
+updates the vAPIC backing page IRR and appends vCPU tags to a shared GA log
+buffer and raises a single GA log interrupt. IOMMU driver scans this buffer to
+decide which vCPU to wakeup.
+
+GAPPI
+^^^^^
+
+GAPPI is an alternative to GALOG. With GAPPI enabled, the IOMMU still updates
+the guest vAPIC backing page IRR, but may deliver a physical APIC interrupt
+directly to IRTE[Destination], using IRTE[GATag][7:0] as the vector. This
+distributes host wakeup notifications across CPUs instead of centralizing them
+in a log buffer. This can be enabled by adding option amd_iommu=gappi
