Keep switching between LAPIC_MODE_X2APIC and LAPIC_MODE_DISABLED during APIC map construction to hunt for TOCTOU bugs in KVM. KVM's optimized map recalc makes multiple passes over the list of vCPUs, and the calculations ignore vCPU's whose APIC is hardware-disabled, i.e. there's a window where toggling LAPIC_MODE_DISABLED is quite interesting.

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.
