Oliver Upton 07212d16ad KVM: arm64: vgic-init: Plug vCPU vs. VGIC creation race
syzkaller has found another ugly race in the VGIC, this time dealing
with VGIC creation. Since kvm_vgic_create() doesn't sufficiently protect
against in-flight vCPU creations, it is possible to get a vCPU into the
kernel w/ an in-kernel VGIC but no allocation of private IRQs:

Plug the race by explicitly checking for an in-progress vCPU creation
and failing kvm_vgic_create() when that's the case. Add some comments to
document all the things kvm_vgic_create() is trying to guard against
too.

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 reStructuredText 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.
