> paravirtual versions of flush_tlb_multi() for KVM, Xen and hyper-v (Xen
> and hyper-v are only compile-tested).

> While the updated smp infrastructure is capable of running a function on
> a single local core, it is not optimized for this case. The multiple
> function calls and the indirect branch introduce some overhead, and
> might make local TLB flushes slower than they were before the recent
> changes.
> 
> Before calling the SMP infrastructure, check if only a local TLB flush
> is needed to restore the lost performance in this common case. This
> requires to check mm_cpumask() one more time, but unless this mask is
> updated very frequently, this should impact performance negatively.
