Changes since v1: - Add a patch to build code in arch/x86/hyperv/ only when CONFIG_HYPERV is set. - Add a patch to get maximum virtual/logical processor on Hyper-V. - Add additional clobbers to hypercalls [Jork Loeser] - Add variable header size support to rep hypercalls. - Rename vmbus_cpu_number_to_vp_number -> hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number [K. Y. Srinivasan] - Remove spinlocks from hyperv_flush_tlb_others() [Jork Loeser] - Account for mm==NULL in hyperv_flush_tlb_others() [Simon Xiao] - Add support for HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACE_EX/LIST_EX hypercalls to support >64 vCPUs [K. Y. Srinivasan, Jork Loeser] - Move hyperv.h to arch-specific place [Steven Rostedt] - Rebased to the latest char-misc-next tree. Original descriptions: 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 3m44.994s user 0m3.829s sys 3m36.323s After: # time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile real 2m57.145s user 0m3.797s sys 2m34.812s 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).
