[PATCH 11/43] KVM: x86: silence preempt warning on kvm_write_guest_time

[Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>]

From: Matt T. Yourst <yourst@users.sourceforge.net>

This issue just appeared in kvm-84 when running on 2.6.28.7 (x86-64)
with PREEMPT enabled.

We're getting syslog warnings like this many (but not all) times qemu
tells KVM to run the VCPU:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
qemu-system-x86/28938
caller is kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x5d1/0xc70 [kvm]
Pid: 28938, comm: qemu-system-x86 2.6.28.7-mtyrel-64bit
Call Trace:
debug_smp_processor_id+0xf7/0x100
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x5d1/0xc70 [kvm]
? __wake_up+0x4e/0x70
? wake_futex+0x27/0x40

sys_futex+0xb4/0x140
sys_ioctl+0x99/0xa0
system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

As it turns out, the call trace is messed up due to gcc's inlining, but
I isolated the problem anyway: kvm_write_guest_time() is being used in a
non-thread-safe manner on preemptable kernels.

Basically kvm_write_guest_time()'s body needs to be surrounded by
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), since the kernel won't let us
query any per-CPU data (indirectly using smp_processor_id()) without
preemption disabled. The attached patch fixes this issue by disabling
preemption inside kvm_write_guest_time().

[marcelo: surround only __get_cpu_var calls since the warning
is harmless]
