Sean Christopherson 423ecfea77 KVM: x86: Pend KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE during vCPU creation to fix a race
Make a KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE request when creating a vCPU with an
in-kernel local APIC and APICv enabled at the module level.  Consuming
kvm_apicv_activated() and stuffing vcpu->arch.apicv_active directly can
race with __kvm_set_or_clear_apicv_inhibit(), as vCPU creation happens
before the vCPU is fully onlined, i.e. it won't get the request made to
"all" vCPUs.  If APICv is globally inhibited between setting apicv_active
and onlining the vCPU, the vCPU will end up running with APICv enabled
and trigger KVM's sanity check.

Mark APICv as active during vCPU creation if APICv is enabled at the
module level, both to be optimistic about it's final state, e.g. to avoid
additional VMWRITEs on VMX, and because there are likely bugs lurking
since KVM checks apicv_active in multiple vCPU creation paths.  While
keeping the current behavior of consuming kvm_apicv_activated() is
arguably safer from a regression perspective, force apicv_active so that
vCPU creation runs with deterministic state and so that if there are bugs,
they are found sooner than later, i.e. not when some crazy race condition
is hit.

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.
