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.
