commit 17b997aa1edb9eb8d9bd1958457ff50927f46832 Author: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Mon May 4 11:53:01 2020 +0200 Commit: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Mon May 4 11:53:01 2020 +0200 x86/hap: be more selective with assisted TLB flush When doing an assisted flush on HAP the purpose of the on_selected_cpus is just to trigger a vmexit on remote CPUs that are in guest context, and hence just using is_vcpu_dirty_cpu is too lax, also check that the vCPU is running. Due to the lazy context switching done by Xen dirty_cpu won't always be cleared when the guest vCPU is not running, and hence relying on is_running allows more fine grained control of whether the vCPU is actually running. I've measured the time of the non-local branch of flush_area_mask inside the shim running with 32vCPUs over 100000 executions and averaged the result on a large Westmere system (80 ways total). The figures where fetched during the boot of a SLES 11 PV guest. The results are as follow (less is better): Non assisted flush with x2APIC: 112406ns Assisted flush without this patch: 820450ns Assisted flush with this patch: 8330ns While there also pass NULL as the data parameter of on_selected_cpus, the dummy handler doesn't consume the data in any way.
