At the moment, the VMID algorithm will send an SGI to all the
CPUs to force an exit and then broadcast a full TLB flush and
I-Cache invalidation.
This patch uses the new VMID allocator. The benefits are:
- Aligns with arm64 ASID algorithm.
- CPUs are not forced to exit at roll-over. Instead,
the VMID will be marked reserved and context invalidation
is broadcasted. This will reduce the IPIs traffic.
- More flexible to add support for pinned KVM VMIDs in
the future.
With the new algo, the code is now adapted:
- The call to update_vmid() will be done with preemption
disabled as the new algo requires to store information
per-CPU.

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.
