KVM: VMX: update vcpu posted-interrupt descriptor when assigning device
For VMX, when a vcpu enters HLT emulation, pi_post_block will:
1) Add vcpu to per-cpu list of blocked vcpus.
2) Program the posted-interrupt descriptor "notification vector"
to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR
With interrupt remapping, an interrupt will set the PIR bit for the
vector programmed for the device on the CPU, test-and-set the
ON bit on the posted interrupt descriptor, and if the ON bit is clear
generate an interrupt for the notification vector.
This way, the target CPU wakes upon a device interrupt and wakes up
the target vcpu.
Problem is that pi_post_block only programs the notification vector
if kvm_arch_has_assigned_device() is true. Its possible for the
following to happen:
1) vcpu V HLTs on pcpu P, kvm_arch_has_assigned_device is false,
notification vector is not programmed
2) device is assigned to VM
3) device interrupts vcpu V, sets ON bit
(notification vector not programmed, so pcpu P remains in idle)
4) vcpu 0 IPIs vcpu V (in guest), but since pi descriptor ON bit is set,
kvm_vcpu_kick is skipped
5) vcpu 0 busy spins on vcpu V's response for several seconds, until
RCU watchdog NMIs all vCPUs.
To fix this, use the start_assignment kvm_x86_ops callback to kick
vcpus out of the halt loop, so the notification vector is
properly reprogrammed to the wakeup vector.
