[ Upstream commit ce5d2448eb8fe83aed331db53a08612286a137dd ] A particularly annoying userspace could create a vCPU after KVM has computed mpidr_data for the VM, either by racing against VGIC initialization or having a userspace irqchip. In any case, this means mpidr_data no longer fully describes the VM, and attempts to find the new vCPU with kvm_mpidr_to_vcpu() will fail. The fix is to discard mpidr_data altogether, as it is only a performance optimization and not required for correctness. In all likelihood KVM will recompute the mappings when KVM_RUN is called on the new vCPU. Note that reads of mpidr_data are not guarded by a lock; promote to RCU to cope with the possibility of mpidr_data being invalidated at runtime.

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.
