Commit 07da1ffaa137 ("KVM: arm64: Remove host_cpu_context
member from vcpu structure") has, by removing the host CPU
context pointer, exposed that kvm_vcpu_pmu_restore_guest
is called in preemptible contexts:

Note that the bug was always there, it is only the switch to
using percpu accessors that made it obvious.
The fix is to wrap these accesses in a preempt-disabled section,
so that we sample a coherent context on trap from the guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
