Drop the lazy mode (cpu or mmu) from the xen_mc_batch and xen_mc_issue
trace entries.

This is done in preparation of removing the xen_lazy_mode percpu
variable.

<content type='text'>
Only Xen is using the paravirt lazy mode code, so it can be moved to
Xen specific sources.

This allows to make some of the functions static or to merge them into
their only call sites.

While at it do a rename from "paravirt" to "xen" for all moved
specifiers.

No functional change.

<title>x86/mm/tlb: Flush remote and local TLBs concurrently</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4ce94eabac16b1d2c95762b40f49e5654ab288d7</id>
<content type='text'>
To improve TLB shootdown performance, flush the remote and local TLBs
concurrently. Introduce flush_tlb_multi() that does so. Introduce
paravirtual versions of flush_tlb_multi() for KVM, Xen and hyper-v (Xen
and hyper-v are only compile-tested).

While the updated smp infrastructure is capable of running a function on
a single local core, it is not optimized for this case. The multiple
function calls and the indirect branch introduce some overhead, and
might make local TLB flushes slower than they were before the recent
changes.

Before calling the SMP infrastructure, check if only a local TLB flush
is needed to restore the lost performance in this common case. This
requires to check mm_cpumask() one more time, but unless this mask is
updated very frequently, this should impact performance negatively.

<content type='text'>
On x86 set_pte_at() is now always falling back to set_pte(). So instead
of having this fallback after the paravirt maze just drop the
set_pte_at paravirt operation and let set_pte_at() use the set_pte()
function directly.

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.

<id>urn:sha1:45dd9b0666a162f8e4be76096716670cf1741f0e</id>
<content type='text'>
Doing an audit of trace events, I discovered two trace events in the xen
subsystem that use a hack to create zero data size trace events. This is not
what trace events are for. Trace events add memory footprint overhead, and
if all you need to do is see if a function is hit or not, simply make that
function noinline and use function tracer filtering.

Worse yet, the hack used was:

 __array(char, x, 0)

Which creates a static string of zero in length. There's assumptions about
such constructs in ftrace that this is a dynamic string that is nul
terminated. This is not the case with these tracepoints and can cause
problems in various parts of ftrace.

Nuke the trace events!

flush_tlb_single() and flush_tlb_one() sound almost identical, but
they really mean "flush one user translation" and "flush one kernel
translation".  Rename them to flush_tlb_one_user() and
flush_tlb_one_kernel() to make the semantics more obvious.

[ I was looking at some PTI-related code, and the flush-one-address code
  is unnecessarily hard to understand because the names of the helpers are
  uninformative.  This came up during PTI review, but no one got around to
  doing it. ]
