Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] KVM: nVMX: nested VPID emulation
VPID is used to tag address space and avoid a TLB flush. Currently L0 use
the same VPID to run L1 and all its guests. KVM flushes VPID when switching
between L1 and L2.
This patch advertises VPID to the L1 hypervisor, then address space of L1 and
L2 can be separately treated and avoid TLB flush when swithing between L1 and
L2. For each nested vmentry, if vpid12 is changed, reuse shadow vpid w/ an
invvpid.
Performance:
run lmbench on L2 w/ 3.5 kernel.
Context switching - times in microseconds - smaller is better
