KVM: x86: Fix potential preemption when get the current kvmclock time…
…stamp BUG: using __this_cpu_read() in preemptible [00000000] code: qemu-system-x86/2809 caller is __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20 CPU: 2 PID: 2809 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Not tainted 4.11.0+ #13 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x99/0xce check_preemption_disabled+0xf5/0x100 __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20 get_kvmclock_ns+0x6f/0x110 [kvm] get_time_ref_counter+0x5d/0x80 [kvm] kvm_hv_process_stimers+0x2a1/0x8a0 [kvm] ? kvm_hv_process_stimers+0x2a1/0x8a0 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xac9/0x1ce0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x5bf/0x1ce0 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x384/0x7b0 [kvm] ? kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x384/0x7b0 [kvm] ? __fget+0xf3/0x210 do_vfs_ioctl+0xa4/0x700 ? __fget+0x114/0x210 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc2 RIP: 0033:0x7f9d164ed357 ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20 This can be reproduced by run kvm-unit-tests/hyperv_stimer.flat w/ CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled. Safe access to per-CPU data requires a couple of constraints, though: the thread working with the data cannot be preempted and it cannot be migrated while it manipulates per-CPU variables. If the thread is preempted, the thread that replaces it could try to work with the same variables; migration to another CPU could also cause confusion. However there is no preemption disable when reads host per-CPU tsc rate to calculate the current kvmclock timestamp. This patch fixes it by utilizing get_cpu/put_cpu pair to guarantee both __this_cpu_read() and rdtsc() are not preempted.
