[PATCH v3 0/9] x86: Concurrent TLB flushes

[ Cover-letter is identical to v2, including benchmark results,
  excluding the change log. ] 

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:

(Note that on configurations with up to 24 threads numactl was used to
set all threads on socket 1, which explains the drop in performance when
going to 32 threads).

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.

v2 -> v3:
* Open-code the remote/local-flush decision code [Andy]
* Fix hyper-v, Xen implementations [Andrew]
* Fix redundant TLB flushes.

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 v3 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.

[PATCH v3 0/9] x86: Concurrent TLB flushes

Thanks for doing this, it's something I've been hoping someone would do
for a long time.

While I kinda wish we had performance data for each individual patch (at
least the behavior-changing ones), this does look like a good
improvement.  That might, for instance, tell is a bit about how the
separating out "is_lazy" compares to the "check before
setting"
optimization.  But, they're both sane enough on their own that I'm not
too worried.

I had some nits that I hope get covered in later revisions, if sent.
But, overall looks fine.  For the series:

Do we really need that _local/_remote distinction? ISTR you had a patch
that frobbed flush_tlb_info into the csd and that gave space
constraints, but I'm not seeing that here (probably a wise, get stuff
merged etc..).

struct __call_single_data {
        struct llist_node          llist;                /*     0     8 */
        smp_call_func_t            func;                 /*     8     8 */
        void *                     info;                 /*    16     8 */
        unsigned int               flags;                /*    24     4 */

        /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

struct flush_tlb_info {
        struct mm_struct *         mm;                   /*     0     8 */
        long unsigned int          start;                /*     8     8 */
        long unsigned int          end;                  /*    16     8 */
        u64                        new_tlb_gen;          /*    24     8 */
        unsigned int               stride_shift;         /*    32     4 */
        bool                       freed_tables;         /*    36     1 */

        /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
        /* padding: 3 */
        /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

IIRC what you did was make void *__call_single_data::info the last
member and a union until the full cacheline size (64). Given the above
that would get us 24 bytes for csd, leaving us 40 for that
flush_tlb_info.

But then we can still do something like the below, which doesn't change
things and still gets rid of that dual function crud, simplifying
smp_call_function_many again.
