hv_do_hypercall() does virt_to_phys() translation and with some configs (CONFIG_SLAB) this doesn't work for percpu areas, we pass wrong memory to hypervisor and get #GP. We could use working slow_virt_to_phys() instead but doing so kills the performance. Move pcpu_flush/pcpu_flush_ex structures out of percpu areas and allocate memory on first call. The additional level of indirection gives us a small performance penalty, in future we may consider introducing hypercall functions which avoid virt_to_phys() conversion and cache physical addresses of pcpu_flush/pcpu_flush_ex structures somewhere.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
