[qemu-s390x] [PATCH v1 for-2.12] s390x/kvm: call cpu_synchronize_state()


From: David Hildenbrand
Subject: [qemu-s390x] [PATCH v1 for-2.12] s390x/kvm: call cpu_synchronize_state() on every kvm_arch_handle_exit()
Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2018 11:35:52 +0200

Manually having to use cpu_synchronize_state() is error prone. And as
Christian Borntraeger discovered, e.g. handle_diag() is currently
missing a cpu_synchronize_state(), as decode_basedisp_s() uses a
general purpose register value internally.

So let's do an overall cpu_synchronize_state(), which fixes at least the
one mentioned BUG. We will clean up the superfluous cpu_synchronize_state()
calls later.

We now also call it (although maybe not neded) for
- KVM_EXIT_S390_RESET -> s390_reipl_request()
- KVM_EXIT_DEBUG -> kvm_arch_handle_debug_exit()
- unmanagable/unimplemented intercepts
- ICPT_CPU_STOP -> do_stop_interrupt() -> cpu gets halted
- Scenarios where we inject an operation exception
- handle_stsi()

I don't think any of these are performance critical. Especially as we
have all information directly contained in kvm_run, there are no
additional IOCTLs to issue on modern kernels.
