[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 0/3] Xen on Hyper-V: Implement L0 assisted TLB flush

[Wei Liu <wl@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all

This seris is based on Roger's L0 assisted flush series.

I have done some testing against a Linux on Hyper-V in a 32-vcpu VM.
All builds were done with -j32.



Building Xen on Linux:
real    0m45.376s
user    2m28.156s
sys     0m51.672s

Building Xen on Linux on Xen on Hyper-V, no assisted flush:
real    3m8.762s
user    10m46.787s
sys     30m14.492s

Building Xen on Linux on Xen on Hyper-V, with assisted flush:
real    0m44.369s
user    3m16.231s
sys     3m3.330s



Building Linux x86_64_defconfig on Linux:
real    0m59.698s
user    21m14.014s
sys     2m58.742s

Building Linux x86_64_defconfig on Linux on Xen on Hyper-V, no assisted
flush:
real    2m6.284s
user    31m18.706s
sys     20m31.106s

Building Linux x86_64_defconfig on Linux on Xen on Hyper-V, with assisted
flush:
real    1m38.968s
user    28m40.398s
sys     11m20.151s



There are various degrees of improvement depending on the workload. Xen
can perhaps be optmised a bit more because it currently doesn't pass the
address space id (cr3) to Hyper-V, but that requires reworking TLB flush
APIs within Xen.
