Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 077/110] xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip

3.16.7-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@...rix.com>

commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a upstream.

A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to.  This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock.  The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.

Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).

  # cat /proc/interrupts | grep virq

   44:          0          0  xen-percpu-virq      debug0

   75:         29          0   xen-dyn-virq      hvc_console
