kvm/x86: Avoid async PF preempting the kernel incorrectly
Currently, in PREEMPT_COUNT=n kernel, kvm_async_pf_task_wait() could call
schedule() to reschedule in some cases. This could result in
accidentally ending the current RCU read-side critical section early,
causing random memory corruption in the guest, or otherwise preempting
the currently running task inside between preempt_disable and
preempt_enable.
The difficulty to handle this well is because we don't know whether an
async PF delivered in a preemptible section or RCU read-side critical section
for PREEMPT_COUNT=n, since preempt_disable()/enable() and rcu_read_lock/unlock()
are both no-ops in that case.
To cure this, we treat any async PF interrupting a kernel context as one
that cannot be preempted, preventing kvm_async_pf_task_wait() from choosing
the schedule() path in that case.
To do so, a second parameter for kvm_async_pf_task_wait() is introduced,
so that we know whether it's called from a context interrupting the
kernel, and the parameter is set properly in all the callsites.
