Davidlohr Bueso 4c0b4bc60f kvm,mips: Fix potential swait_active() races
For example, the following could occur, making us miss a wakeup:

CPU0					CPU1
kvm_vcpu_block				kvm_mips_comparecount_func
					  [L] swait_active(&vcpu->wq)
  [S] prepare_to_swait(&vcpu->wq)
  [L] if (!kvm_vcpu_has_pending_timer(vcpu))
         schedule()                       [S] queue_timer_int(vcpu)

Ensure that the swait_active() check is not hoisted over the interrupt.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
