When making a vPE non-resident because it has hit a blocking WFI,
the doorbell can fire at any time after the write to the RD.
Crucially, it can fire right between the write to GICR_VPENDBASER
and the write to the pending_last field in the its_vpe structure.
This means that we would overwrite pending_last with stale data,
and potentially not wakeup until some unrelated event (such as
a timer interrupt) puts the vPE back on the CPU.
GICv4 isn't affected by this as we actively mask the doorbell on
entering the guest, while GICv4.1 automatically manages doorbell
delivery without any hypervisor-driven masking.
Use the vpe_lock to synchronize such update, which solves the
problem altogether.

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.
