In __vcpu_run() and do_vsie_run(), we enter an RCU extended quiescent
state (EQS) by calling guest_enter_irqoff(), which lasts until
__vcpu_run() calls guest_exit_irqoff(). However, between the two we
enable interrupts and may handle interrupts during the EQS. As the IRQ
entry code will not wake RCU in this case, we may run the core IRQ code
and IRQ handler without RCU watching, leading to various potential
problems.
It is necessary to unmask (host) interrupts around entering the guest,
as entering the guest via SIE will not automatically unmask these. When
a host interrupt is taken from a guest, it is taken via its regular
host IRQ handler rather than being treated as a direct exit from SIE.
Due to this, we cannot simply mask interrupts around guest entry, and
must handle interrupts during this window, waking RCU as required.
Additionally, between guest_enter_irqoff() and guest_exit_irqoff(), we
use local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() to unmask interrupts,
violating the ordering requirements for RCU/lockdep/tracing around
entry/exit sequences. Further, since this occurs in an instrumentable
function, it's possible that instrumented code runs during this window,
with potential usage of RCU, etc.
To fix the RCU wakeup problem, an s390 implementation of
arch_in_rcu_eqs() is added which checks for PF_VCPU in current->flags.
PF_VCPU is set/cleared by guest_timing_{enter,exit}_irqoff(), which
surround the actual guest entry.
To fix the remaining issues, the lower-level guest entry logic is moved
into a shared noinstr helper function using the
guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff() helpers. These perform all the
lockdep/RCU/tracing manipulation necessary, but as sie64a() does not
enable/disable interrupts, we must do this explicitly with the
non-instrumented arch_local_irq_{enable,disable}() helpers:
guest_state_enter_irqoff()
arch_local_irq_enable();
sie64a(...);
arch_local_irq_disable();
guest_state_exit_irqoff();

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.
