The following issue is observed with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT when KVM loads: KVM: vmx: using Hyper-V Enlightened VMCS BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: systemd-udevd/488 caller is set_hv_tscchange_cb+0x16/0x80 CPU: 1 PID: 488 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.15.0-rc5+ #396 Hardware name: Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine/Virtual Machine, BIOS Hyper-V UEFI Release v4.0 12/17/2019 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x6a/0x9a check_preemption_disabled+0xde/0xe0 ? kvm_gen_update_masterclock+0xd0/0xd0 [kvm] set_hv_tscchange_cb+0x16/0x80 kvm_arch_init+0x23f/0x290 [kvm] kvm_init+0x30/0x310 [kvm] vmx_init+0xaf/0x134 [kvm_intel] ... set_hv_tscchange_cb() can get preempted in between acquiring smp_processor_id() and writing to HV_X64_MSR_REENLIGHTENMENT_CONTROL. This is not an issue by itself: HV_X64_MSR_REENLIGHTENMENT_CONTROL is a partition-wide MSR and it doesn't matter which particular CPU will be used to receive reenlightenment notifications. The only real problem can (in theory) be observed if the CPU whose id was acquired with smp_processor_id() goes offline before we manage to write to the MSR, the logic in hv_cpu_die() won't be able to reassign it correctly.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
