When handling "sparse" VP_SET requests, don't read sparse banks that can't possibly contain a legal VP index instead of ignoring such banks later on in sparse_set_to_vcpu_mask(). This allows KVM to cap the size of its sparse_banks arrays for VP_SET at KVM_HV_MAX_SPARSE_VCPU_SET_BITS. Add a compile time assert that KVM_HV_MAX_SPARSE_VCPU_SET_BITS<=64, i.e. that KVM_MAX_VCPUS<=4096, as the TLFS allows for at most 64 sparse banks, and KVM will need to do _something_ to play nice with Hyper-V. Reducing the size of sparse_banks fudges around a compilation warning (that becomes error with KVM_WERROR=y) when CONFIG_KASAN_STACK=y, which is selected (and can't be unselected) by CONFIG_KASAN=y when using gcc (clang/LLVM is a stack hog in some cases so it's opt-in for clang). KASAN_STACK adds a redzone around every stack variable, which pushes the Hyper-V functions over the default limit of 1024. Ideally, KVM would flat out reject such impossibilities, but the TLFS explicitly allows providing empty banks, even if a bank can't possibly contain a valid VP index due to its position exceeding KVM's max. Furthermore, for a bit 1 in ValidBankMask, it is valid state for the corresponding element in BanksContents can be all 0s, meaning no processors are specified in this bank. Arguably KVM should reject and not ignore the "extra" banks, but that can be done independently and without bloating sparse_banks, e.g. by reading each "extra" 8-byte chunk individually.

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.
