Sean Christopherson cbe4fcf371 KVM: Ensure local memslot copies operate on up-to-date arch-specific data
commit bda44d8447 upstream.

When modifying memslots, snapshot the "old" memslot and copy it to the
"new" memslot's arch data after (re)acquiring slots_arch_lock.  x86 can
change a memslot's arch data while memslot updates are in-progress so
long as it holds slots_arch_lock, thus snapshotting a memslot without
holding the lock can result in the consumption of stale data.

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.
