The VMCS field EOI_bitmap[] is an array of 256 bits - one for each vector.
If a bit is set to '1' in the EOI_bitmap[] then the processor will trigger
an EOI-induced VM-exit when it is doing EOI virtualization.
The EOI-induced VM-exit results in the EOI being forwarded to the vioapic
so that level triggered interrupts can be properly handled.

Prior to this change we would update the TMR in the virtual-APIC page at

This feature can be disabled by setting the tunable "hw.vmm.vmx.use_apic_pir"
to "0".
The following sysctls provide information about this feature:
- hw.vmm.vmx.posted_interrupts (0 if disabled, 1 if enabled)
- hw.vmm.vmx.posted_interrupt_vector (vector number used for vcpu notification)

This control is needed to enable "Posted Interrupts" and is present in all
the Intel VT-x implementations supported by bhyve so enable it as the default.
With this VM-exit control enabled the processor will acknowledge the APIC and

with the vector.

emulation of the APIC by setting the tunable hw.vmm.vmx.use_apic_vid to 0.
We now start handling two new types of VM-exits:
APIC-access: This is a fault-like VM-exit and is triggered when the APIC
register access is not accelerated (e.g. apic timer CCR). In response to
this we do emulate the instruction that triggered the APIC-access exit.
APIC-write: This is a trap-like VM-exit which does not require any instruction
emulation but it does require the hypervisor to emulate the access to the
specified register (e.g. icrlo register).
Introduce 'vlapic_ops' which are function pointers to vector the various
vlapic operations into processor-dependent code. The 'Virtual Interrupt
Delivery' feature installs 'ops' for setting the IRR bits in the virtual
APIC page and to return whether any interrupts are pending for this vcpu.

Keep a copy of the 'rip' and the 'exit_reason' and use that when calling

The HPET timer interrupt is triggered from the callout handler associated with
the timer. It is possible for the callout handler to be delayed before it gets
a chance to execute. If the guest disables the HPET during this window then the
handler never gets a chance to execute and the timer interrupt is lost.
This is now fixed by injecting a timer interrupt into the guest if the callout

Previously we used IPI_AST to interrupt the host cpu which is functionally
