Trap-less Virtual Interrupt for KVM on RISC-V

Explore the implementation of trap-less virtual interrupts for KVM on RISC-V architecture in this 25-minute conference talk. Delve into the background, motivation, and key components such as virtualization-aware Core-Local Interrupt Controller (CLINT) and Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC). Learn about direct injection of virtual interrupts and the KVM support overview. Examine the trap-less virtual interrupt mechanisms for timer interrupts, virtual timer interrupts, and VSEI. Analyze benchmark results for various interrupt types and gain insights into future developments in this area of virtualization technology.
