KVM: arm/arm64: Fix reference to uninitialised VGIC
commit b3aff6ccbb1d25e506b60ccd9c559013903f3464 upstream. Commit 4b4b4512da2a ("arm/arm64: KVM: Rework the arch timer to use level-triggered semantics") brought the virtual architected timer closer to the VGIC. There is one occasion were we don't properly check for the VGIC actually having been initialized before, but instead go on to check the active state of some IRQ number. If userland hasn't instantiated a virtual GIC, we end up with a kernel NULL pointer dereference: ========= Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 pgd = ffffffc9745c5000 [00000000] *pgd=00000009f631e003, *pud=00000009f631e003, *pmd=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#2] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 2144 Comm: kvm_simplest-ar Tainted: G D 4.5.0-rc2+ #1300 Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r1) (DT) task: ffffffc976da8000 ti: ffffffc976e28000 task.ti: ffffffc976e28000 PC is at vgic_bitmap_get_irq_val+0x78/0x90 LR is at kvm_vgic_map_is_active+0xac/0xc8 pc : [<ffffffc0000b7e28>] lr : [<ffffffc0000b972c>] pstate: 20000145 .... ========= Fix this by bailing out early of kvm_timer_flush_hwstate() if we don't have a VGIC at all.
