commit b321c31c9b7b309dcde5e8854b741c8e6a9a05f0 upstream.
Xiang reports that VMs occasionally fail to boot on GICv4.1 systems when
running a preemptible kernel, as it is possible that a vCPU is blocked
without requesting a doorbell interrupt.
The issue is that any preemption that occurs between vgic_v4_put() and
schedule() on the block path will mark the vPE as nonresident and *not*
request a doorbell irq. This occurs because when the vcpu thread is
resumed on its way to block, vcpu_load() will make the vPE resident
again. Once the vcpu actually blocks, we don't request a doorbell
anymore, and the vcpu won't be woken up on interrupt delivery.
Fix it by tracking that we're entering WFI, and key the doorbell
request on that flag. This allows us not to make the vPE resident
when going through a preempt/schedule cycle, meaning we don't lose
any 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 Restructured Text 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.
