[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 4/9] xen/x86: use invpcid for flushing the TLB
If possible use the INVPCID instruction for flushing the TLB instead of
toggling cr4.pge for that purpose.
While at it remove the dependency on cr4.pge being required for mtrr
loading, as this will be required later anyway.
Add a command line option "invpcid" for controlling the use of
INVPCID (default to true).

V6:
- reword invpcid parameter description (Andrew Cooper)
- add __read_mostly to use_invpcid definition (Andrew Cooper)
V5:
- use pre_flush() as an initializer in do_tlb_flush() (Jan Beulich)
- introduce boolean use_invpcid instead of clearing X86_FEATURE_INVPCID
(Jan Beulich)
V4:
- option "invpcid" instead of "noinvpcid" (Jan Beulich)
V3:
- new patch

+By default, Xen will use the INVPCID instruction for TLB management if
+it is available. This option can be used to cause Xen to fall back to
+older mechanisms, which are generally slower.
