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.
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.

Commit 1e175d2e ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to access full VCPU ID space", 2018-07-25) added code that uses kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode before any VCPUs are created. However, userspace can change kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode at any time up until the first VCPU is created. Hence it is (theoretically) possible for the check in kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_hv() to race with another userspace thread changing kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode. This fixes it by moving the test that uses kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode into the block where kvm->lock is held. Signed-off-by:Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
