Nicholas Piggin d5c0e8332d KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Avoid tlbsync sequence on radix guest exit
Use the existing TLB flushing logic to IPI the previous CPU and run the
necessary barriers before running a guest vCPU on a new physical CPU,
to do the necessary radix GTSE barriers for handling the case of an
interrupted guest tlbie sequence.

This requires the vCPU TLB flush sequence that is currently just done
on one thread, to be expanded to ensure the other threads execute a
ptesync, because causing them to exit the guest will no longer cause a
ptesync by itself.

This results in more IPIs than the TLB flush logic requires, but it's
a significant win for common case scheduling when the vCPU remains on
the same physical CPU.

This saves about 520 cycles (nearly 10%) on a guest entry+exit micro
benchmark on a POWER9.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
