It seems the series missed 4.13 merge window, rebase and resend.

Changes since v8:
- Rebase to the current char-misc tree (mostly to account for the newly
  added struct flush_tlb_info in tlb flush interfaces).
- PATCH07: drop hv_tmpcpumap as we have global infrastructure now.
- PATCH08: make fill_gva_list() return 'gva_n - offset' as we were doing
  too many REPs before (offset is the size of variable header, we don't
  need to include it in REP count when doing hypercall).
- PATCH08/09: add setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PCID) to future proof
  the code if PCID feature appears in Hyper-V guests.
- Add Andy's/Stephen's Reviewed-by: to all patches (hopefully they stand
  with the above mentioned changes).

P.S. I'm traveling next two weeks, my responses will probably be delayed.

Original description:

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()
