[ Upstream commit 6f390916c4fb359507d9ac4bf1b28a4f8abee5c0 ]
Wrap s390's halt_poll_max_steal with READ_ONCE and snapshot the result of
kvm_arch_no_poll() in kvm_vcpu_block() to avoid a mostly-theoretical,
largely benign bug on s390 where the result of kvm_arch_no_poll() could
change due to userspace modifying halt_poll_max_steal while the vCPU is
blocking. The bug is largely benign as it will either cause KVM to skip
updating halt-polling times (no_poll toggles false=>true) or to update
halt-polling times with a slightly flawed block_ns.
Note, READ_ONCE is unnecessary in the current code, add it in case the
arch hook is ever inlined, and to provide a hint that userspace can
change the param at will.

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.
