KVM: arm64: Align the VMID allocation with the arm64 ASID
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.
