[PATCH v2 0/9] x86: Concurrent TLB flushes

Currently, local and remote TLB flushes are not performed concurrently,
which introduces unnecessary overhead - each INVLPG can take 100s of
cycles. This patch-set allows TLB flushes to be run concurrently: first
request the remote CPUs to initiate the flush, then run it locally, and
finally wait for the remote CPUs to finish their work.

In addition, there are various small optimizations to avoid unwarranted
false-sharing and atomic operations.

The proposed changes should also improve the performance of other
invocations of on_each_cpu(). Hopefully, no one has relied on this
behavior of on_each_cpu() that invoked functions first remotely and only
then locally [Peter says he remembers someone might do so, but without
further information it is hard to know how to address it].

Running sysbench on dax/ext4 w/emulated-pmem, write-cache disabled on
2-socket, 48-logical-cores (24+SMT) Haswell-X, 5 repetitions:

 sysbench fileio --file-total-size=3G --file-test-mode=rndwr \
  --file-io-mode=mmap --threads=X --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run

(Note that on configurations with up to 24 threads numactl was used to

going to 32 threads).

Spectre, MDS):

  48	4770029 (35541)		4764760 (13575)		-0.1%

Presumably, PTI requires two invalidations of each mapping, which allows
to get higher benefits from concurrency when PTI is on. At the same
time, when mitigations are on, other overheads reduce the potential
speedup.

I tried to reduce the size of the code of the main patch, which required
restructuring of the series.

v1 -> v2:
* Removing the patches that Thomas took [tglx]
* Adding hyper-v, Xen compile-tested implementations [Dave]
* Removing UV [Andy]
* Adding lazy optimization, removing inline keyword [Dave]
* Restructuring patch-set

RFCv2 -> v1:
* Fix comment on flush_tlb_multi [Juergen]
* Removing async invalidation optimizations [Andy]
* Adding KVM support [Paolo]

[PATCH v2 4/9] x86/mm/tlb: Flush remote and local TLBs concurrently

To improve TLB shootdown performance, flush the remote and local TLBs
concurrently. Introduce flush_tlb_multi() that does so. Introduce
paravirtual versions of flush_tlb_multi() for KVM, Xen and hyper-v (Xen
and hyper-v are only compile-tested).

While the updated smp infrastructure is capable of running a function on
a single local core, it is not optimized for this case. The multiple
function calls and the indirect branch introduce some overhead, and
might make local TLB flushes slower than they were before the recent
changes.

Before calling the SMP infrastructure, check if only a local TLB flush
is needed to restore the lost performance in this common case. This
requires to check mm_cpumask() one more time, but unless this mask is
updated very frequently, this should impact performance negatively.

I think this isn't the correct function for PV guests.

In fact it should be much easier: just don't clear the own cpu from the
mask, that's all what's needed. The hypervisor is just fine having the
current cpu in the mask and it will do the right thing.
