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. + +Cc: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> +Reported-by: Manish Jaggi <Manish.Jaggi@caviumnetworks.com> +Signed-off-by: Josh Cartwright <joshc@ni.com> +Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> +--- + arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c | 6 +++--- + 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c +index 4d63fcd7574b..06fced951e75 100644 +--- a/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c ++++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c +@@ -708,7 +708,7 @@ int kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) + * involves poking the GIC, which must be done in a + * non-preemptible context. + */ +- preempt_disable(); ++ migrate_disable(); + + kvm_pmu_flush_hwstate(vcpu); + +@@ -757,7 +757,7 @@ int kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) + kvm_timer_sync_user(vcpu); + kvm_vgic_sync_hwstate(vcpu); + local_irq_enable(); +- preempt_enable(); ++ migrate_enable(); + continue; + } + +@@ -829,7 +829,7 @@ int kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) + /* Exit types that need handling before we can be preempted */ + handle_exit_early(vcpu, ret); + +- preempt_enable(); ++ migrate_enable(); + + /* + * The ARMv8 architecture doesn't give the hypervisor +-- +2.43.0 + |
