[PATCH v5 08/10] x86/hyper-v: use hypercall for remote TLB flush

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Tue May 30 2017 - 07:35:06 EST


Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush,
this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.

Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls
we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to
have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot. These areas are of fixes size, limit them with an arbitrary number
of 16 (16 gvas are able to specify 16 * 4096 pages).

pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate
hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().

It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is
even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the
host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The
hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Changes since v4:
- Define HV_TLB_FLUSH_UNIT, use __set_bit(), minor code style changes
