    xen/x86: use PCID feature
    
    Avoid flushing the complete TLB when switching %cr3 for mitigation of
    Meltdown by using the PCID feature if available.
    
    We are using 4 PCID values for a 64 bit pv domain subject to XPTI and
    2 values for the non-XPTI case:
    
    - guest active and in kernel mode
    - guest active and in user mode
    - hypervisor active and guest in user mode (XPTI only)
    - hypervisor active and guest in kernel mode (XPTI only)
    
    We use PCID only if PCID _and_ INVPCID are supported. With PCID in use
    we disable global pages in cr4. A command line parameter controls in
    which cases PCID is being used.
    
    As the non-XPTI case has shown not to perform better with PCID at least
    on some machines the default is to use PCID only for domains subject to
    XPTI.
    
    With PCID enabled we always disable global pages. This avoids having to
    either flush the complete TLB or do a cycle through all PCID values
    when invalidating a single global page.

    xen/x86: use flag byte for decision whether xen_cr3 is valid
    
    Today cpu_info->xen_cr3 is either 0 to indicate %cr3 doesn't need to
    be switched on entry to Xen, or negative for keeping the value while
    indicating not to restore %cr3, or positive in case %cr3 is to be
    restored.
    
    Switch to use a flag byte instead of a negative xen_cr3 value in order
    to allow %cr3 values with the high bit set in case we want to keep TLB
    entries when using the PCID feature.
    
    This reduces the number of branches in interrupt handling and results
    in better performance (e.g. parallel make of the Xen hypervisor on my
    system was using about 3% less system time).

    xen/x86: disable global pages for domains with XPTI active
    
    Instead of flushing the TLB from global pages when switching address
    spaces with XPTI being active just disable global pages via %cr4
    completely when a domain subject to XPTI is active. This avoids the
    need for extra TLB flushes as loading %cr3 will remove all TLB
    entries.
    
    In order to avoid states with cr3/cr4 having inconsistent values
    (e.g. global pages being activated while cr3 already specifies a XPTI
    address space) move loading of the new cr4 value to write_ptbase()
    (actually to switch_cr3_cr4() called by write_ptbase()).
    
    This requires to use switch_cr3_cr4() instead of write_ptbase() when
    building dom0 in order to avoid setting cr4 with cr4.smap set.

    xen/x86: use invpcid for flushing the TLB
    
    If possible use the INVPCID instruction for flushing the TLB instead of
    toggling cr4.pge for that purpose.
    
    While at it remove the dependency on cr4.pge being required for mtrr
    loading, as this will be required later anyway.
    
    Add a command line option "invpcid" for controlling the use of
    INVPCID (default to true).

    xen/x86: support per-domain flag for xpti
    
    Instead of switching XPTI globally on or off add a per-domain flag for
    that purpose. This allows to modify the xpti boot parameter to support
    running dom0 without Meltdown mitigations. Using "xpti=no-dom0" as boot
    parameter will achieve that.
    
    Move the xpti boot parameter handling to xen/arch/x86/pv/domain.c as
    it is pv-domain specific.

    x86/xpti: avoid copying L4 page table contents when possible
    
    For mitigation of Meltdown the current L4 page table is copied to the
    cpu local root page table each time a 64 bit pv guest is entered.
    
    Copying can be avoided in cases where the guest L4 page table hasn't
    been modified while running the hypervisor, e.g. when handling
    interrupts or any hypercall not modifying the L4 page table or %cr3.
    
    So add a per-cpu flag indicating whether the copying should be
    performed and set that flag only when loading a new %cr3 or modifying
    the L4 page table.  This includes synchronization of the cpu local
    root page table with other cpus, so add a special synchronization flag
    for that case.
    
    A simple performance check (compiling the hypervisor via "make -j 4")
    in dom0 with 4 vcpus shows a significant improvement:
    
    - real time drops from 112 seconds to 103 seconds
    - system time drops from 142 seconds to 131 seconds
