KVM: arm/arm64: Reset the VCPU without preemption and vcpu state loaded
[ Upstream commit e761a927 ] We have two ways to reset a vcpu: - either through VCPU_INIT - or through a PSCI_ON call The first one is easy to reason about. The second one is implemented in a more bizarre way, as it is the vcpu that handles PSCI_ON that resets the vcpu that is being powered-on. As we need to turn the logic around and have the target vcpu to reset itself, we must take some preliminary steps. Resetting the VCPU state modifies the system register state in memory, but this may interact with vcpu_load/vcpu_put if running with preemption disabled, which in turn may lead to corrupted system register state. Address this by disabling preemption and doing put/load if required around the reset logic.
