Juergen Gross a0e4fd14ba xen: remove not used trace functions
There are some Xen specific trace functions defined in
include/trace/events/xen.h. Remove them.

Juergen Gross 882bbe56ae xen: remove unused function xen_set_domain_pte()
The function xen_set_domain_pte() is used nowhere in the kernel.
Remove it.

Jeremy Linton ff910cfdc6 tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() macros
There are a few places in the kernel where sizeof() is already
being used. Update those locations with TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF.

Kirill A. Shutemov f2a6a70501 x86: Convert the rest of the code to support p4d_t
This patch converts x86 to use proper folding of a new (fifth) page table level
with <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>.

That's a bit of a kitchen sink patch, but I don't see how to split it further
without hurting bisectability.

Kirill A. Shutemov 9823336833 x86: expose number of page table levels on Kconfig level
We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct.
Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 95a7d76897 xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.
As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.

This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.

Alex Shi e7b52ffd45 x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range
x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.

But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.

So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
	(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
		X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)

Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.

But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.

As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.

My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP
'always':

	       	        with patch   unpatched 3.4-rc4

Jeremy Fitzhardinge b3c4b98250 xen/tracing: fix compile errors when tracing is disabled.

Fix this by making sure struct multicall_entry has a declaration in
scope at all times, and don't bother compiling xen/trace.c when tracing
is disabled.
