[RFC PATCH 5/6] x86/mm/tlb: Flush remote and local TLBs concurrently

[RFC PATCH 5/6] x86/mm/tlb: Flush remote and local TLBs concurrently

[Nadav Amit via Virtualization]

To improve TLB shootdown performance, flush the remote and local TLBs
concurrently. Introduce flush_tlb_multi() that does so. The current
flush_tlb_others() interface is kept, since paravirtual interfaces need
to be adapted first before it can be removed. This is left for future
work. In such PV environments, TLB flushes are not performed, at this
time, concurrently.

Add a static key to tell whether this new interface is supported.

This comment does not make sense. flush_tlb_others() return type is
void.

I suspect that is an artifact from before the static_key; an attempt to
make the pv interface less awkward.

Something like the below would work for KVM I suspect, the others
(Hyper-V and Xen are more 'interesting').

Even this would be just an optimization; the vCPU you're running on
cannot be preempted.  You can just change others to multi.

Yeah, I know, but it felt weird so I added the explicit skip. No strong
feelings though.

Neither here, and it would indeed deserve a comment if you left the if out.

Yes, remainders that should have been removed - I will remove them for the
next version.

That’s what I have as well ;-).

As you mentioned (in another email), specifically hyper-v code seems
convoluted to me. In general, I prefer not to touch KVM/Xen/hyper-v, but you
twist my arm, I will send a compile-tested version for Xen and hyper-v.
