[ Upstream commit 26573a97746c7a99f394f9d398ce91a8853b3b89 ]
Currently, Linux as a hypervisor guest will enable x2apic only if there are
no CPUs present at boot time with an APIC ID above 255.
Hotplugging a CPU later with a higher APIC ID would result in a CPU which
cannot be targeted by external interrupts.
Add a filter in x2apic_apic_id_valid() which can be used to prevent such
CPUs from coming online, and allow x2apic to be enabled even if they are
present at boot time.
Fixes: ce69a784504 ("x86/apic: Enable x2APIC without interrupt remapping under KVM")

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.
