Keep the vcpu->mode and vcpu->cpu variables up to date so that kvm_make_all_cpus_request() has a chance of functioning correctly. This will soon need to be used for kvm_flush_remote_tlbs(). We can easily update vcpu->cpu when the VCPU context is loaded or saved, which will happen when accessing guest context and when the guest is scheduled in and out. We need to be a little careful with vcpu->mode though, as we will in future be checking for outstanding VCPU requests, and this must be done after the value of IN_GUEST_MODE in vcpu->mode is visible to other CPUs. Otherwise the other CPU could fail to trigger an IPI to wait for completion dispite the VCPU request not being seen.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
