Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock now that KVM hooks CPU hotplug during the ONLINE phase, which can sleep. Previously, KVM hooked the STARTING phase, which is not allowed to sleep and thus could not take kvm_lock (a mutex). This effectively allows the task that's initiating hardware enabling/disabling to preempted and/or migrated. Note, the Documentation/virt/kvm/locking.rst statement that kvm_count_lock is "raw" because hardware enabling/disabling needs to be atomic with respect to migration is wrong on multiple fronts. First, while regular spinlocks can be preempted, the task holding the lock cannot be migrated. Second, preventing migration is not required. on_each_cpu() disables preemption, which ensures that cpus_hardware_enabled correctly reflects hardware state. The task may be preempted/migrated between bumping kvm_usage_count and invoking on_each_cpu(), but that's perfectly ok as kvm_usage_count is still protected, e.g. other tasks that call hardware_enable_all() will be blocked until the preempted/migrated owner exits its critical section. KVM does have lockless accesses to kvm_usage_count in the suspend/resume flows, but those are safe because all tasks must be frozen prior to suspending CPUs, and a task cannot be frozen while it holds one or more locks (userspace tasks are frozen via a fake signal). Preemption doesn't need to be explicitly disabled in the hotplug path. The hotplug thread is pinned to the CPU that's being hotplugged, and KVM only cares about having a stable CPU, i.e. to ensure hardware is enabled on the correct CPU. Lockep, i.e. check_preemption_disabled(), plays nice with this state too, as is_percpu_thread() is true for the hotplug thread.
