Documentation/virt/kvm/locking.rst advises that kvm->lock should be
acquired outside vcpu->mutex and kvm->srcu. However, when KVM/RISC-V
handling SBI_EXT_HSM_HART_START, the lock ordering is vcpu->mutex,
kvm->srcu then kvm->lock.
Although the lockdep checking no longer complains about this after commit
f0f44752f5 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies"),
it's necessary to replace kvm->lock with a new dedicated lock to ensure
only one hart can execute the SBI_EXT_HSM_HART_START call for the target
hart simultaneously.
Additionally, this patch also rename "power_off" to "mp_state" with two
possible values. The vcpu->mp_state_lock also protects the access of
vcpu->mp_state.

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.
