[RFC PATCH v2 06/12] KVM: x86: Provide paravirtualized flush_tlb_multi()

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Fri May 31 2019 - 02:40:52 EST


Support the new interface of flush_tlb_multi, which also flushes the
local CPU's TLB, instead of flush_tlb_others that does not. This
interface is more performant since it parallelize remote and local TLB
flushes.

The actual implementation of flush_tlb_multi() is almost identical to
that of flush_tlb_others().
