mainlining shenanigans

The following WARN is triggered from kvm_vm_ioctl_set_clock(): WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 579353 at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:3161 mark_page_dirty_in_slot+0x6c/0x80 [kvm] ... CPU: 10 PID: 579353 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Tainted: G W O 5.16.0.stable #20 Hardware name: LENOVO 20UF001CUS/20UF001CUS, BIOS R1CET65W(1.34 ) 06/17/2021 RIP: 0010:mark_page_dirty_in_slot+0x6c/0x80 [kvm] ... Call Trace: <TASK> ? kvm_write_guest+0x114/0x120 [kvm] kvm_hv_invalidate_tsc_page+0x9e/0xf0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vm_ioctl+0xa26/0xc50 [kvm] ? schedule+0x4e/0xc0 ? __cond_resched+0x1a/0x50 ? futex_wait+0x166/0x250 ? __send_signal+0x1f1/0x3d0 kvm_vm_ioctl+0x747/0xda0 [kvm] ... The WARN was introduced by commit 03c0304a86bc ("KVM: Warn if mark_page_dirty() is called without an active vCPU") but the change seems to be correct (unlike Hyper-V TSC page update mechanism). In fact, there's no real need to actually write to guest memory to invalidate TSC page, this can be done by the first vCPU which goes through kvm_guest_time_update().

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.
