Subject: [PATCH 4.4 11/30] xen/qspinlock: Dont kick CPU if IRQ is not initialized

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

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

From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@...rix.com>

commit 707e59ba494372a90d245f18b0c78982caa88e48 upstream.

The following commit:

  1fb3a8b2cfb2 ("xen/spinlock: Fix locking path engaging too soon under PVHVM.")

... moved the initalization of the kicker interrupt until after
native_cpu_up() is called.

However, when using qspinlocks, a CPU may try to kick another CPU that is
spinning (because it has not yet initialized its kicker interrupt), resulting
in the following crash during boot:

  kernel BUG at /build/linux-Ay7j_C/linux-4.4.0/drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1210!

To fix this, only send the kick if the target CPU's interrupt has been
initialized. This check isn't racy, because the target is waiting for
the spinlock, so it won't have initialized the interrupt in the
meantime.
