Subject: [PATCH 1/4] target/i386: Make sure SynIC state is really updated

RH-MergeRequest: 314: target/i386: Make sure SynIC state is really updated before KVM_RUN

RH-Commit: [1/1] 2d8f7605e3efd3c76d16a2cb9e7c0898786fb4e9 (vkuznets/qemu-kvm)
'hyperv_synic' test from KVM unittests was observed to be flaky on certain
hardware (hangs sometimes). Debugging shows that the problem happens in
hyperv_sint_route_new() when the test tries to set up a new SynIC
route. The function bails out on:
if (!synic->sctl_enabled) {
goto cleanup;
}
but the test writes to HV_X64_MSR_SCONTROL just before it starts
establishing SINT routes. Further investigation shows that
synic_update() (called from async_synic_update()) happens after the SINT
setup attempt and not before. Apparently, the comment before
async_safe_run_on_cpu() in kvm_hv_handle_exit() does not correctly describe
the guarantees async_safe_run_on_cpu() gives. In particular, async worked
added to a CPU is actually processed from qemu_wait_io_event() which is not
always called before KVM_RUN, i.e. kvm_cpu_exec() checks whether an exit
request is pending for a CPU and if not, keeps running the vCPU until it
meets an exit it can't handle internally. Hyper-V specific MSR writes are
not automatically trigger an exit.
Fix the issue by simply raising an exit request for the vCPU where SynIC
update was queued. This is not a performance critical path as SynIC state
does not get updated so often (and async_safe_run_on_cpu() is a big hammer
anyways).
