Commit 61bd0f66ff92 has moved guest_enter() out of the interrupt
protected area to be able to have updated tick counters, but
commit 112665286d08 moved back to this area to avoid wrong
context warning (or worse).

None of them are correct, to fix the problem port to POWER
the x86 fix 160457140187 ("KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til
after IRQ handling"):

"Defer the call to account guest time until after servicing any IRQ(s)
 that happened in the guest or immediately after VM-Exit.  Tick-based
 accounting of vCPU time relies on PF_VCPU being set when the tick IRQ
 handler runs, and IRQs are blocked throughout the main sequence of
 vcpu_enter_guest(), including the call into vendor code to actually
 enter and exit the guest."

This patch was merged in linux 4.16 and thus is on the 4.16.y
stable branch and it was backported to stable 4.14.y. It would
make sense to Cc: stable # v4.14 also, but...

> Fixes: 112665286d08 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context tracking exit guest context before enabling irqs")

... this one, which was merged in linux 5.12, was never backported
anywhere because it wasn't considered as a fix, as commented here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/1610793296.fjhomer31g.astroid@bobo.none/

AFAICT commit 61bd0f66ff92 was never mentioned anywhere in a bug. The
first Fixes: tag thus looks a bit misleading. I'd personally drop it
and Cc: stable # v5.12.

Change looks ok but it might be a bit confusing for the
occasional reader that guest_enter_irqoff() isn't matched
by a guest_exit_irqoff().

Maybe add a comment like in x86 ?

Same remarks. FWIW a followup was immediately added to x86 to
encapsulate the enter/exit logic in common helpers :

    KVM: x86: Consolidate guest enter/exit logic to common helpers

This makes the code nicer. Maybe do something similar for POWER ?

Cheers,

I don't like to modify kernel code when it's not needed. I just want to fix a bug, if 
someone wants this nicer I let this to him...

Thanks,
Laurent
