kvm_pmu_overflow_set() is called from perf's interrupt handler, making the call of kvm_vgic_inject_irq() from it introduced with "KVM: arm/arm64: PMU: remove request-less vcpu kick" a really bad idea, as it's quite easy to try and retake a lock that the interrupted context is already holding. The fix is to use a vcpu kick, leaving the interrupt injection to kvm_pmu_sync_hwstate(), like it was doing before the refactoring. We don't just revert, though, because before the kick was request-less, leaving the vcpu exposed to the request-less vcpu kick race, and also because the kick was used unnecessarily from register access handlers.

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.
