Subject: [PATCH v6 11/11] KVM: xen: allow vcpu_info content to be 'safely' copied

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@...zon.com>

If the guest sets an explicit vcpu_info GPA then, for any of the first 32
vCPUs, the content of the default vcpu_info in the shared_info page must be
copied into the new location. Because this copy may race with event
delivery (which updates the 'evtchn_pending_sel' field in vcpu_info) we
need a way to defer that until the copy is complete.
Happily there is already a shadow of 'evtchn_pending_sel' in kvm_vcpu_xen
that is used in atomic context if the vcpu_info PFN cache has been
invalidated so that the update of vcpu_info can be deferred until the
cache can be refreshed (on vCPU thread's the way back into guest context).
So let's also use this shadow if the vcpu_info cache has been
*deactivated*, so that the VMM can safely copy the vcpu_info content and
then re-activate the cache with the new GPA. To do this, all we need to do
is stop considering an inactive vcpu_info cache as a hard error in
kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast().
