Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 116/281] KVM: X86: Fix preempt the preemption
 timer cancel

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

[ Upstream commit 5acc1ca4fb15f00bfa3d4046e35ca381bc25d580 ]

Preemption can occur during cancel preemption timer, and there will be
inconsistent status in lapic, vmx and vmcs field.

          CPU0                    CPU1

  preemption timer vmexit
  handle_preemption_timer(vCPU0)
    kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer
      vmx_cancel_hv_timer
        vmx->hv_deadline_tsc = -1
        vmcs_clear_bits
        /* hv_timer_in_use still true */
  sched_out
                           sched_in
                           kvm_arch_vcpu_load
                             vmx_set_hv_timer
                               write vmx->hv_deadline_tsc
                               vmcs_set_bits
                           /* back in kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer */
                           hv_timer_in_use = false
                           ...
                           vmx_vcpu_run
                             vmx_arm_hv_run
                               write preemption timer deadline
                             spurious preemption timer vmexit
                               handle_preemption_timer(vCPU0)
                                 kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer
                                   WARN_ON(!apic->lapic_timer.hv_timer_in_use);

This can be reproduced sporadically during boot of L2 on a
preemptible L1, causing a splat on L1.

This patch fixes it by disabling preemption while cancelling
preemption timer.  This way cancel_hv_timer is atomic with
respect to kvm_arch_vcpu_load.
