s390/kvm: fix interrupt race with HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT
The HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT macro is used in the interrupt handlers and the program check handler to undo a few changes done by sie64a. Among them are guest vs host LPP, the gmap ASCE vs kernel ASCE and the bit that indicates that SIE is currently running on the CPU. There is a race of a voluntary SIE exit vs asynchronous interrupts. If the CPU completed the SIE instruction and the TM instruction of the LPP macro at the time it receives an interrupt, the interrupt handler will run while the LPP, the ASCE and the SIE bit are still set up for guest execution. This might result in wrong sampling data, but it will not cause data corruption or lockups. The critical section in sie64a needs to be enlarged to include all instructions that undo the changes required for guest execution. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
