Subject: [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].

(Note that on configurations with up to 24 threads numactl was used to

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]
