On multi-node GICv4.1 system, VSGI senders always use one certain 4_1 ITS, because find_4_1_its() returns the first its_node in the list, regardless of which node the VSGI sender is on. This brings guest VSGI performance drop when VM is not running on the same node as this returned ITS. On a 2-socket environment, each with one ITS and 32 cpu, GICv4.1 enabled, 4U8G guest, 4 vcpu is running on same socket. When the VM is on socket0, kvm-unit-tests ipi_hw result is 850ns. When the VM is on socket1, it is 750ns. The reason is that the VSGI sender always uses the last reported ITS (that on socket1) to inject VSGI. The access from a CPU to a other-socket ITS will cost 100ns more compared to an access to the local ITS. Using the local ITS results in a 12% reduction in IPI latency. Modify find_4_1_its() to return the first per-CPU local_4_1_its, which is initialized when the VPE table is inherited from the ITS or from another CPU. If it fails to find a local 4_1 ITS, it returns any 4_1 ITS like before.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
