[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 5/5] xen: mapcache performance improvements

[<stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use qemu_invalidate_entry in cpu_physical_memory_unmap.

Do not lock mapcache entries in qemu_get_ram_ptr if the address falls in
the ramblock with offset == 0. We don't need to do that because the
callers of qemu_get_ram_ptr either try to map an entire block, other
from the main ramblock, or until the end of a page to implement a single
read or write in the main ramblock.
If we don't lock mapcache entries in qemu_get_ram_ptr we don't need to
call qemu_invalidate_entry in qemu_put_ram_ptr anymore because we can
leave with few long lived block mappings requested by devices.

Also move the call to qemu_ram_addr_from_mapcache at the beginning of
qemu_ram_addr_from_host.
