[RFC Patch 3/3] KVM/x86: Add tlb_remote_flush callback support for vmcs

From: Tianyu Lan
Date: Mon Jun 04 2018 - 05:08:49 EST


Register tlb_remote_flush callback for vmcs when hyperv capability of
nested guest mapping flush is detected. The interface can help to reduce
overhead when flush ept table among vcpus for nested VM. The tradition way
is to send IPIs to all affected vcpus and executes INVEPT on each vcpus.
It will trigger several vmexits for IPI and INVEPT emulation. Hyperv provides
such hypercall to do flush for all vcpus.
