x86/hap: be more selective with assisted TLB flush
When doing an assisted flush on HAP the purpose of the
on_selected_cpus is just to trigger a vmexit on remote CPUs that are
in guest context, and hence just using is_vcpu_dirty_cpu is too lax,
also check that the vCPU is running. Due to the lazy context switching
done by Xen dirty_cpu won't always be cleared when the guest vCPU is
not running, and hence relying on is_running allows more fine grained
control of whether the vCPU is actually running.
I've measured the time of the non-local branch of flush_area_mask
inside the shim running with 32vCPUs over 100000 executions and
averaged the result on a large Westmere system (80 ways total). The
figures where fetched during the boot of a SLES 11 PV guest. The
results are as follow (less is better):
Non assisted flush with x2APIC: 112406ns
Assisted flush without this patch: 820450ns
Assisted flush with this patch: 8330ns
While there also pass NULL as the data parameter of on_selected_cpus,
the dummy handler doesn't consume the data in any way.
