The code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S that pushes the XIVE virtual CPU context to the hardware currently assumes it is being called in real mode, which is usually true. There is however a path by which it can be executed in virtual mode, in the case where indep_threads_mode = N. A virtual CPU executing on an offline secondary thread can take a hypervisor interrupt in virtual mode and return from the kvmppc_hv_entry() call after the kvm_secondary_got_guest label. It is possible for it to be given another vcpu to execute before it gets to execute the stop instruction. In that case it will call kvmppc_hv_entry() for the second VCPU in virtual mode, and the XIVE vCPU push code will be executed in virtual mode. The result in that case will be a host crash due to an unexpected data storage interrupt caused by executing the stdcix instruction in virtual mode. This fixes it by adding a code path for virtual mode, which uses the virtual TIMA pointer and normal load/store instructions.

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.
