[33/55] [S390] kvm-390: Let kernel exit SIE instruction on work

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Apr 29 2011 - 15:03:58 EST


2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Carsten Otte <cotte@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9ff4cfb3fcfd48b49fdd9be7381b3be340853aa4 upstream.

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes the sie exit on interrupts. The low level
interrupt handler returns to the PSW address in pt_regs and not
to the PSW address in the lowcore.
Without this fix a cpu bound guest might never leave guest state
since the host interrupt handler would blindly return to the
SIE instruction, even on need_resched and friends.
