James Hogan 4841e0dd4f KVM: MIPS: Update vcpu->mode and vcpu->cpu
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.

README

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.
