Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/4] Use INVPCID to flush global mappings
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2018 12:10:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180215121040.20585-1-wei.liu2@citrix.com> (raw)
I wrote these patches sometime ago to explore PCID and INVPCID. I haven't
thought through whether how to use both in Xen yet. But seeing Juergen laid out
his thought on PCID and INVPCID I think some of the patches can be useful.
I had done some benchmark on the speed in one of my older branch by inserting
some trace points before and after the flush. It showed that twiddling CR4.PGE
is 3 to 5 times slower than invpcid.
This series is in incomplete -- obviously we have CR4.PGE twiddling in a few
other places. But if you think it is beneficial I can try to convert those
places as well.
Wei.
