From: Josh Cartwright Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:54:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 211/351] KVM: arm/arm64: downgrade preempt_disable()d region to migrate_disable() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=ca8704ae000da9439b5b1a0073a8861fdcd12a6e kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() disables the use of preemption when updating the vgic and timer states to prevent the calling task from migrating to another CPU. It does so to prevent the task from writing to the incorrect per-CPU GIC distributor registers. On -rt kernels, it's possible to maintain the same guarantee with the use of migrate_{disable,enable}(), with the added benefit that the migrate-disabled region is preemptible. Update kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() to do so.
