[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Use raw_spinlock for locks taken in IRQ context

[Julien Thierry]

Hi,

While testing KVM running on PREEMPT_RT, starting guest could simply
freeze the machine. This is because we are using spinlocks for VGIC
locks, which is invalid in the VGIC case since the locks must be take
with interrupts disabled.

The solution is to use raw_spinlock instead of spinlocks.

Replacing those locks also highlighted an issue where we attempt to
cond_resched with interrupts disabled.

Patch 1 fixes the cond_resched issue.
Patch 2-4 replace the VGIC spinlocks with raw_spinlocks

Changes since v1[1]:
- Rebase on v4.20-rc4
- Add Christoffer's Acked-by
- Fix potential lock up when waiting for vcpus to halt

Cheers,
