Subject[PATCH v2] x86/hyper-v: use cheaper HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_{LIST,SPACE} hypercalls when possible
Date
While working on Hyper-V style PV TLB flush support in KVM I noticed that
real Windows guests use TLB flush hypercall in a somewhat smarter way: when
the flush needs to be performed on a subset of first 64 vCPUs or on all
present vCPUs Windows avoids more expensive hypercalls which support
sparse CPU sets and uses their 'cheap' counterparts. This means that
HV_X64_EX_PROCESSOR_MASKS_RECOMMENDED name is actually a misnomer: EX
hypercalls (which support sparse CPU sets) are "available", not
"recommended". This makes sense as they are actually harder to parse.

Nothing stops us from being equally 'smart' in Linux too. Switch to
doing cheaper hypercalls whenever possible.
