Siddharth Chandrasekaran 5974565bc2 KVM: x86: kvm_hv_flush_tlb use inputs from XMM registers
Hyper-V supports the use of XMM registers to perform fast hypercalls.
This allows guests to take advantage of the improved performance of the
fast hypercall interface even though a hypercall may require more than
(the current maximum of) two input registers.

The XMM fast hypercall interface uses six additional XMM registers (XMM0
to XMM5) to allow the guest to pass an input parameter block of up to
112 bytes.

Add framework to read from XMM registers in kvm_hv_hypercall() and use
the additional hypercall inputs from XMM registers in kvm_hv_flush_tlb()
when possible.

README

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.
