Temporarily acquire kvm->srcu for read when potentially emulating WRMSR in the VM-Exit fastpath handler, as several of the common helpers used during emulation expect the caller to provide SRCU protection. E.g. if the guest is counting instructions retired, KVM will query the PMU event filter when stepping over the WRMSR. dump_stack+0x85/0xdf lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x109/0x120 pmc_event_is_allowed+0x165/0x170 kvm_pmu_trigger_event+0xa5/0x190 handle_fastpath_set_msr_irqoff+0xca/0x1e0 svm_vcpu_run+0x5c3/0x7b0 [kvm_amd] vcpu_enter_guest+0x2108/0x2580 Alternatively, check_pmu_event_filter() could acquire kvm->srcu, but this isn't the first bug of this nature, e.g. see commit5c30e8101e("KVM: SVM: Skip WRMSR fastpath on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid"). Providing protection for the entirety of WRMSR emulation will allow reverting the aforementioned commit, and will avoid having to play whack-a-mole when new uses of SRCU-protected structures are inevitably added in common emulation helpers.

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.
