avic_set_running() passes the current CPU to avic_vcpu_load(), albeit
via vcpu->cpu rather than smp_processor_id(). If the thread is migrated
while avic_set_running runs, the call to avic_vcpu_load() can use a stale
value for the processor id. Avoid this by blocking preemption over the
entire execution of avic_set_running().

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.
