Marc Zyngier 9a50ebbffa KVM: arm: vgic: Synchronize the whole guest on GIC{D,R}_I{S,C}ACTIVER read
When a guest tries to read the active state of its interrupts,
we currently just return whatever state we have in memory. This
means that if such an interrupt lives in a List Register on another
CPU, we fail to obsertve the latest active state for this interrupt.

In order to remedy this, stop all the other vcpus so that they exit
and we can observe the most recent value for the state. This is
similar to what we are doing for the write side of the same
registers, and results in new MMIO handlers for userspace (which
do not need to stop the guest, as it is supposed to be stopped
already).

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.
