There are various bits of VM-scoped data that can only be configured before the first call to KVM_RUN, such as the hypercall bitmaps and the PMU. As these fields are protected by the kvm->lock and accessed while holding vcpu->mutex, this is yet another example of lock inversion. Change out the kvm->lock for kvm->arch.config_lock in all of these instances. Opportunistically simplify the locking mechanics of the PMU configuration by holding the config_lock for the entirety of kvm_arm_pmu_v3_set_attr(). Note that this also addresses a couple of bugs. There is an unguarded read of the PMU version in KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER which could race with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU. Additionally, until now writes to the per-vCPU vPMU irq were not serialized VM-wide, meaning concurrent calls to KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ could lead to a false positive in pmu_irq_is_valid().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
