At the moment, the VMID algorithm will send an SGI to all the CPUs to
force an exit and then broadcast a full TLB flush and I-Cache
invalidation.
This patch re-use the new ASID allocator. The
benefits are:
- CPUs are not forced to exit at roll-over. Instead the VMID will be
marked reserved and the context will be flushed at next exit. This
will reduce the IPIs traffic.
- Context invalidation is now per-CPU rather than broadcasted.
With the new algo, the code is now adapted:
- The function __kvm_flush_vm_context() has been renamed to
__kvm_flush_cpu_vmid_context and now only flushing the current CPU context.
- The call to update_vttbr() will be done with preemption disabled
as the new algo requires to store information per-CPU.
- The TLBs associated to EL1 will be flushed when booting a CPU to
deal with stale information. This was previously done on the
allocation of the first VMID of a new generation.
The measurement was made on a Seattle based SoC (8 CPUs), with the
number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves running concurrently 40
guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then execute hackbench 5 times
before exiting.
The performance difference between the current algo and the new one are:
- 2.5% less exit from the guest
- 22.4% more flush, although they are now local rather than
broadcasted
- 0.11% faster (just for the record)

Looking at the __kvm_flush_vm_context, it might be possible to
reduce more the overhead by removing the I-Cache flush for other
cache than VIPT. This has been left aside for now.
