Subject: x86, hvm: Move return-to-guest timer and interrupt cranking logic
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~14054^2~44
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/%22https:/%22bookmarks://%22Dat/%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/%22https:/%22bookmarks:/%22Dat?a=commitdiff_plain;h=33d21c38e4aa82c075c75e70bca94040d096fb9e;p=xen.git

x86, hvm: Move return-to-guest timer and interrupt cranking logic
outside of IRQ-safe context. This allows us to safely take
non-IRQ-safe spinlocks.

The drawback is that {vmx,svm}_intr_assist() now races new event
notifications delivered by IRQ or IPI. We close down this race by
having vcpu_kick() send a dummy softirq -- this gets picked up in
IRQ-sage context and will cause retry of *_intr_assist(). We avoid
delivering the softirq where possible by avoiding it when we are
running in the non-IRQ context of the VCPU to be kicked.
