A particularly annoying userspace could create a vCPU after KVM has
computed mpidr_data for the VM, either by racing against VGIC
initialization or having a userspace irqchip.
In any case, this means mpidr_data no longer fully describes the VM, and
attempts to find the new vCPU with kvm_mpidr_to_vcpu() will fail. The
fix is to discard mpidr_data altogether, as it is only a performance
optimization and not required for correctness. In all likelihood KVM
will recompute the mappings when KVM_RUN is called on the new vCPU.
Note that reads of mpidr_data are not guarded by a lock; promote to RCU
to cope with the possibility of mpidr_data being invalidated at runtime.

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.
