[ Upstream commit 4ad9843e1ea088bd2529290234c6c4c6374836a7 ]
The emulated IMSIC update the external interrupt pending depending on
the value of eidelivery and topei. It might lose an interrupt when it
is interrupted before setting the new value to the pending status.
For example, when VCPU0 sends an IPI to VCPU1 via IMSIC:
VCPU0 VCPU1
CSRSWAP topei = 0
The VCPU1 has claimed all the external
interrupt in its interrupt handler.
topei of VCPU1's IMSIC = 0
set pending in VCPU1's IMSIC
topei of VCPU1' IMSIC = 1
set the external interrupt
pending of VCPU1
clear the external interrupt pending
of VCPU1
When the VCPU1 switches back to VS mode, it exits the interrupt handler
because the result of CSRSWAP topei is 0. If there are no other external
interrupts injected into the VCPU1's IMSIC, VCPU1 will never know this
pending interrupt unless it initiative read the topei.
If the interruption occurs between updating interrupt pending in IMSIC
and updating external interrupt pending of VCPU, it will not cause a
problem. Suppose that the VCPU1 clears the IPI pending in IMSIC right
after VCPU0 sets the pending, the external interrupt pending of VCPU1
will not be set because the topei is 0. But when the VCPU1 goes back to
VS mode, the pending IPI will be reported by the CSRSWAP topei, it will
not lose this interrupt.
So we only need to make the external interrupt updating procedure as a
critical section to avoid the problem.
