Subject: x86/mm: Use INVPCID for __native_flush_tlb_single()

From: Dave Hansen <[email protected]>

commit 6cff64b86aaaa07f89f50498055a20e45754b0c1 upstream.

This uses INVPCID to shoot down individual lines of the user mapping instead of marking the entire user map as invalid. This could/might/possibly be faster.

This for sure needs tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling to be redetermined; esp. since INVPCID is _slow_.

A detailed performance analysis is available here:
