commit 16ca6a607d84bef0129698d8d808f501afd08d43 upstream. The vgic code is trying to be clever when injecting GICv2 SGIs, and will happily populate LRs with the same interrupt number if they come from multiple vcpus (after all, they are distinct interrupt sources). Unfortunately, this is against the letter of the architecture, and the GICv2 architecture spec says "Each valid interrupt stored in the List registers must have a unique VirtualID for that virtual CPU interface.". GICv3 has similar (although slightly ambiguous) restrictions. This results in guests locking up when using GICv2-on-GICv3, for example. The obvious fix is to stop trying so hard, and inject a single vcpu per SGI per guest entry. After all, pending SGIs with multiple source vcpus are pretty rare, and are mostly seen in scenario where the physical CPUs are severely overcomitted. But as we now only inject a single instance of a multi-source SGI per vcpu entry, we may delay those interrupts for longer than strictly necessary, and run the risk of injecting lower priority interrupts in the meantime. In order to address this, we adopt a three stage strategy: - If we encounter a multi-source SGI in the AP list while computing its depth, we force the list to be sorted - When populating the LRs, we prevent the injection of any interrupt of lower priority than that of the first multi-source SGI we've injected. - Finally, the injection of a multi-source SGI triggers the request of a maintenance interrupt when there will be no pending interrupt in the LRs (HCR_NPIE). At the point where the last pending interrupt in the LRs switches from Pending to Active, the maintenance interrupt will be delivered, allowing us to add the remaining SGIs using the same process.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
