David Hildenbrand b3ecd4aa86 KVM: s390: vsie: use READ_ONCE to access some SCB fields
Another VCPU might try to modify the SCB while we are creating the
shadow SCB. In general this is no problem - unless the compiler decides
to not load values once, but e.g. twice.

For us, this is only relevant when checking/working with such values.
E.g. the prefix value, the mso, state of transactional execution and
addresses of satellite blocks.

E.g. if we blindly forward values (e.g. general purpose registers or
execution controls after masking), we don't care.

Leaving unpin_blocks() untouched for now, will handle it separately.

The worst thing right now that I can see would be a missed prefix
un/remap (mso, prefix, tx) or using wrong guest addresses. Nothing
critical, but let's try to avoid unpredictable behavior.

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.
