From 72ccea8afa727f3bba747f6c2d1ca0895e0b2e38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Cartwright Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:54:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 257/352] KVM: arm/arm64: downgrade preempt_disable()d region to migrate_disable() 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.
