[PATCH V3 4/4] KVM/x86: Add tlb_remote_flush callback support for vmx

From: Tianyu Lan
Date: Thu Jul 19 2018 - 04:40:37 EST


Register tlb_remote_flush callback for vmx 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. Hyper-V provides such hypercall to do
flush for all vcpus and call the hypercall when all ept table
pointers of single VM are same.

Change since v2:
Make ept_pointers_match as tristate "check", "match" and
"mismatch". Set "check" in vmx_set_cr3(), check all ept table
pointers in hv_remote_flush_tlb() and call hypercall when all
ept pointers are same.

Change since v1:
Replace identical_ept_pointer with ept_pointers_match and
check kvm_x86_ops->tlb_remote_flush in check_ept_pointer().
