Wanpeng Li 2f1b5183ae KVM: X86: Fix softlockup when get the current kvmclock
[ Upstream commit e70b57a6ce ]

 watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [qemu-system-x86:10185]
 CPU: 6 PID: 10185 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Tainted: G           OE   4.14.0-rc4+ #4
 RIP: 0010:kvm_get_time_scale+0x4e/0xa0 [kvm]
 Call Trace:
  get_time_ref_counter+0x5a/0x80 [kvm]
  kvm_hv_process_stimers+0x120/0x5f0 [kvm]
  kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x4b4/0x1690 [kvm]

  do_vfs_ioctl+0xa1/0x5d0
  SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90
  entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1e/0xa9

This can be reproduced when running kvm-unit-tests/hyperv_stimer.flat and
cpu-hotplug stress simultaneously. __this_cpu_read(cpu_tsc_khz) returns 0
(set in kvmclock_cpu_down_prep()) when the pCPU is unhotplug which results
in kvm_get_time_scale() gets into an infinite loop.

This patch fixes it by treating the unhotplug pCPU as not using master clock.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
