Currently on SVM, the kvm_request_apicv_update toggles the APICv memslot without doing any synchronization. If there is a mismatch between that memslot state and the AVIC state, on one of the vCPUs, an APIC mmio access can be lost: For example: VCPU0: enable the APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT VCPU1: access an APIC mmio register. Since AVIC is still disabled on VCPU1, the access will not be intercepted by it, and neither will it cause MMIO fault, but rather it will just be read/written from/to the dummy page mapped into the APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT. Fix that by adding a lock guarding the AVIC state changes, and carefully order the operations of kvm_request_apicv_update to avoid this race: 1. Take the lock 2. Send KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE 3. Update the apic inhibit reason 4. Release the lock This ensures that at (2) all vCPUs are kicked out of the guest mode, but don't yet see the new avic state. Then only after (4) all other vCPUs can update their AVIC state and resume.

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.
