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).
