commit 54ec2bd9e0173b75daf84675d07c56584f96564b upstream.
Doorbell emulation is broken for KVM on PAPR guests as support for DPDES
was not added in the initial patch series. Due to this, a KVM on PAPR
guest with SMT > 1 cannot be booted with the XICS interrupt controller
as doorbells are setup in the initial probe path when using XICS
(pSeries_smp_probe()).
Command to replicate the above bug:
qemu-system-ppc64 \
-drive file=rhel.qcow2,format=qcow2 \
-m 20G \
-smp 8,cores=1,threads=8 \
-cpu host \
-nographic \
-machine pseries,ic-mode=xics -accel kvm
Add doorbell state handling support in the host KVM code to fix doorbell
emulation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
