    Subject[RFC v2 00/14] kvm/arm: Align the VMID allocation with the arm64 ASID one
    Date
    Hi all,

    This patch series is moving out the ASID allocator in a separate file in order
    to re-use it for the VMID. The benefits are:
    - CPUs are not forced to exit on a roll-over.
    - Context invalidation is now per-CPU rather than
    broadcasted.

    There are no performance regression on the fastpath for ASID allocation.
    Actually on the hackbench measurement (300 hackbench) it was .7% faster.

    The measurement was made on a Seattle based SoC (8 CPUs), with the
    number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves running concurrently 40
    guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then execute hackbench 5 times
    before exiting.

    The performance difference (on 5.1-rc1) between the current algo and the
    new one are:
    - 2.5% less exit from the guest
    - 22.4% more flush, although they are now local rather than broadcasted
    - 0.11% faster (just for the record)

    The ASID allocator rework to make it generic has been divided in multiple
    patches to make the review easier.

    Compare to the first RFC, Arm is not duplicated most of the code anymore.
    Instead, Arm will build the version from Arm64.

    A branch with the patch based on 5.2-rc5 can be found:
