Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Drop locks before reading guest memory

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

commit 36ee41d161c67a6fcf696d4817a0da31f778938c upstream.

Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP reveals that HV KVM tries to
read guest memory, in order to emulate guest instructions, while
preempt is disabled and a vcore lock is held.  This occurs in
kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), called from post_guest_process(), when
emulating guest doorbell instructions on POWER9 systems, and also
when checking whether we have hit a hypervisor breakpoint.
Reading guest memory can cause a page fault and thus cause the
task to sleep, so we need to avoid reading guest memory while
holding a spinlock or when preempt is disabled.

To fix this, we move the preempt_enable() in kvmppc_run_core() to
before the loop that calls post_guest_process() for each vcore that
has just run, and we drop and re-take the vcore lock around the calls
to kvmppc_emulate_debug_inst() and kvmppc_emulate_doorbell_instr().

Dropping the lock is safe with respect to the iteration over the
runnable vcpus in post_guest_process(); for_each_runnable_thread
is actually safe to use locklessly.  It is possible for a vcpu
to become runnable and add itself to the runnable_threads array
(code near the beginning of kvmppc_run_vcpu()) and then get included
in the iteration in post_guest_process despite the fact that it
has not just run.  This is benign because vcpu->arch.trap and
vcpu->arch.ceded will be zero.
