Changes since v3:
- Force a stack frame in hv_do_hypercall()/hv_do_fast_hypercall8()
  [Andy Lutomirski] (Patches 3,4). K. Y., I'm keeping your Acked-by and 
  Tested-by tags on these patches as I think the adjustment is minor.
  I smoke tested both i586 and x86_64 builds and no issues were noticed.

There is a discussion if this need to go through char-misc or x86 tree. The
majority of the stuff in the series is Hyper-V related so char-misc looks
appropriate but Andy noticed that we're clashing with his PCID series so
it may make sense to have everything in x86.

Original descriptions:

Hyper-V supports hypercalls for doing local and remote TLB flushing and
gives its guests hints when using hypercall is preferred. While doing
hypercalls for local TLB flushes is probably not practical (and is not
being suggested by modern Hyper-V versions) remote TLB flush with a
hypercall brings significant improvement.

To test the series I wrote a special 'TLB trasher': on a 16 vCPU guest I
was creating 32 threads which were doing 100000 mmap/munmaps each on some
big file. Here are the results:

Before:
# time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile 
real	3m33.118s
user	0m3.698s
sys	3m16.624s

After:
# time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile 
real	2m19.920s
user	0m2.662s
sys	2m9.948s

This series brings a number of small improvements along the way: fast
hypercall implementation and using it for event signaling, rep hypercalls
implementation, hyperv tracing subsystem (which only traces the newly added
remote TLB flush for now).

Vitaly Kuznetsov (10):
  x86/hyper-v: include hyperv/ only when CONFIG_HYPERV is set
  x86/hyper-v: stash the max number of virtual/logical processor
  x86/hyper-v: make hv_do_hypercall() inline
  x86/hyper-v: fast hypercall implementation
  hyper-v: use fast hypercall for HVCALL_SIGNAL_EVENT
  x86/hyper-v: implement rep hypercalls
  hyper-v: globalize vp_index
  x86/hyper-v: use hypercall for remote TLB flush
  x86/hyper-v: support extended CPU ranges for TLB flush hypercalls
  tracing/hyper-v: trace hyperv_mmu_flush_tlb_others()
