Steve Rutherford f81fe6eb5b KVM: Remove CREATE_IRQCHIP/SET_PIT2 race
[ Upstream commit 7289fdb5dc ]

Fixes a NULL pointer dereference, caused by the PIT firing an interrupt
before the interrupt table has been initialized.

SET_PIT2 can race with the creation of the IRQchip. In particular,
if SET_PIT2 is called with a low PIT timer period (after the creation of
the IOAPIC, but before the instantiation of the irq routes), the PIT can
fire an interrupt at an uninitialized table.

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.
