[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] x86/tlb: use Xen L0 assisted TLB flush when available

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@citrix.com>]

Use Xen's L0 HVMOP_flush_tlbs hypercall in order to perform flushes.
This greatly increases the performance of TLB flushes when running
with a high amount of vCPUs as a Xen guest, and is specially important
when running in shim mode.

The following figures are from a PV guest running `make -j32 xen` in
shim mode with 32 vCPUs.

Using x2APIC and ALLBUT shorthand:
real	4m35.973s
user	4m35.110s
sys	36m24.117s

Using L0 assisted flush:
real    1m14.206s
user    4m31.835s
sys     5m45.013s

The implementation adds a new hook to hypervisor_ops so other
enlightenments can also implement such assisted flush just by filling
the hook. Note that the Xen implementation completely ignores the
dirty CPU mask and the linear address passed in, and always performs a
global TLB flush on all vCPUs.

Changes since v1:
 - Add a L0 assisted hook to hypervisor ops.
