Marc Zyngier e4649d3da3 KVM: arm64: Disable preemption in kvm_arch_hardware_enable() 
commit 970dee09b2 upstream.

Since 0bf50497f0 ("KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect
kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock"), hotplugging back a CPU whilst
a guest is running results in a number of ugly splats as most
of this code expects to run with preemption disabled, which isn't
the case anymore.

While the context is preemptable, it isn't migratable, which should
be enough. But we have plenty of preemptible() checks all over
the place, and our per-CPU accessors also disable preemption.

Since this affects released versions, let's do the easy fix first,
disabling preemption in kvm_arch_hardware_enable(). We can always
revisit this with a more invasive fix in the future.

Fixes: 0bf50497f0 ("KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock")

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.
