> Subject: [PATCH V3 0/4] KVM/x86/hyper-V: Introduce PV guest address
> space mapping flush support
> 
> Hyper-V provides a para-virtualization hypercall
> HvFlushGuestPhysicalAddressSpace
> to flush nested VM address space mapping in l1 hypervisor and it's to reduce
> overhead
> of flushing ept tlb among vcpus. The tradition way is to send IPIs to all
> affected
> vcpus and executes INVEPT on each vcpus. It will trigger several vmexits for
> IPI and
> INVEPT emulation. The pv hypercall can help to flush specified ept table on all
> vcpus
> via one single hypercall.
> 
> Change since v2:
>        - Make ept_pointers_match as tristate "check", "match" and "mismatch".
>        Set "check" in vmx_set_cr3(), check all ept table pointers in
> hv_remote_flush_tlb()
>        and call hypercall when all ept pointers are same.
>        - Rename kvm_arch_hv_flush_remote_tlb with
> kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlb and
>        Rename kvm_x86_ops->hv_tlb_remote_flush with kvm_x86_ops-
> >tlb_remote_flush
>        - Fix issue that ignore updating tlbs_dirty during calling
> kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs()
>        - Merge patch "KVM/VMX: Add identical ept table pointer check" and
>        patch "KVM/x86: Add tlb_remote_flush callback support for vmx"
> 
> Change since v1:
>        - Fix compilation error for non-x86 platform.
>        - Use ept_pointers_match to check condition of identical ept
>             table pointer and get ept pointer from struct vcpu_vmx->ept_pointer.
>        - Add hyperv_nested_flush_guest_mapping ftrace support
