An AP destroy request for a target vCPU is typically followed by an
RMPADJUST to remove the VMSA attribute from the page currently being
used as the VMSA for the target vCPU. This can result in a vCPU that
is about to VMRUN to exit with #VMEXIT_INVALID.
This usually does not happen as APs are typically sitting in HLT when
being destroyed and therefore the vCPU thread is not running at the time.
However, if HLT is allowed inside the VM, then the vCPU could be about to
VMRUN when the VMSA attribute is removed from the VMSA page, resulting in
a #VMEXIT_INVALID when the vCPU actually issues the VMRUN and causing the
guest to crash. An RMPADJUST against an in-use (already running) VMSA
results in a #NPF for the vCPU issuing the RMPADJUST, so the VMSA
attribute cannot be changed until the VMRUN for target vCPU exits. The
Qemu command line option '-overcommit cpu-pm=on' is an example of allowing
HLT inside the guest.
Update the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event to include the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. The kvm_vcpu_kick() function will not wait for
requests to be honored, so create kvm_make_request_and_kick() that will
add a new event request and honor the KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. This will
ensure that the target vCPU sees the AP destroy request before returning
to the initiating vCPU should the target vCPU be in guest mode.

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 reStructuredText 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.
