Subject: paravirt: lazy mmu mode hooks.patch
From: Zachary Amsden <zach@xxxxxxxxxx>
Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and shadow
page tables. The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations while in
lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall. We use this in VMI for
shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win. It also can be used by
PPC and for direct page tables on Xen.
For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table
locks for page tables which are being modified. This is because otherwise,
you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can
race ahead of. Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees the
synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which are
generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as the page
fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same lock.

+ * hazard could result in the direct mode hypervisor case, since the actual
+ * write to the page tables may not yet have taken place, so reads though
+ * a raw PTE pointer after it has been modified are not guaranteed to be
+ * up to date. This mode can only be entered and left under the protection of
+ * the page table locks for all page tables which may be modified. In the UP
+ * case, this is required so that preemption is disabled, and in the SMP case,
+ * it must synchronize the delayed page table writes properly on other CPUs.
