There is a small chance that the compiler could generate separate loads
for the dist-&gt;propbaser which could be modified from another CPU.  As we
want to make sure we atomically update the entire value, and don't race
with other updates, guarantee that the cmpxchg operation compares
against the original value.

<title>KVM: avoid using rcu_dereference_protected</title>

<content type='text'>
During teardown, accesses to memslots and buses are using
rcu_dereference_protected with an always-true condition because
these accesses are done outside the usual mutexes.  This
is because the last reference is gone and there cannot be any
concurrent modifications, but rcu_dereference_protected is
ugly and unobvious.

Instead, check the refcount in kvm_get_bus and __kvm_memslots.

<title>KVM: make pid available for uevents without debugfs</title>

Simplify and improve the code so that the PID is always available in
the uevent even when debugfs is not available.

This adds a userspace_pid field to struct kvm, as per Radim's
suggestion, so that the PID can be retrieved on destruction too.

The mmu_notifier_release() callback of KVM triggers cleaning up
the stage2 page table on kvm-arm. However there could be other
notifier callbacks in parallel with the mmu_notifier_release(),
which could cause the call backs ending up in an empty stage2
page table. Make sure we check it for all the notifier callbacks.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: PMU: Fix overflow interrupt injection</title>

<content type='text'>
kvm_pmu_overflow_set() is called from perf's interrupt handler,
making the call of kvm_vgic_inject_irq() from it introduced with
"KVM: arm/arm64: PMU: remove request-less vcpu kick" a really bad
idea, as it's quite easy to try and retake a lock that the
interrupted context is already holding. The fix is to use a vcpu
kick, leaving the interrupt injection to kvm_pmu_sync_hwstate(),
like it was doing before the refactoring. We don't just revert,
though, because before the kick was request-less, leaving the vcpu
exposed to the request-less vcpu kick race, and also because the
kick was used unnecessarily from register access handlers.

Commit 0e4e82f154e3 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Enable ITS emulation as
a virtual MSI controller") tried to advertise KVM_CAP_MSI_DEVID, but
the code logic was not updating the dist-&gt;msis_require_devid field
correctly. If hypervisor tool creates the ITS device after VGIC
initialization then we don't advertise KVM_CAP_MSI_DEVID capability.

Update the field msis_require_devid to true inside vgic_its_create()
to fix the issue.

This patch adds a few lines to the KVM common code to fire a
KOBJ_CHANGE uevent whenever a KVM VM is created or destroyed. The event
carries five environment variables:

CREATED indicates how many times a new VM has been created. It is
	useful for example to trigger specific actions when the first
	VM is started
COUNT indicates how many VMs are currently active. This can be used for
	logging or monitoring purposes
PID has the pid of the KVM process that has been started or stopped.
	This can be used to perform process-specific tuning.
STATS_PATH contains the path in debugfs to the directory with all the
	runtime statistics for this VM. This is useful for performance
	monitoring and profiling.
EVENT described the type of event, its value can be either "create" or
	"destroy"

Specific udev rules can be then set up in userspace to deal with the
creation or destruction of VMs as needed.
