KVM: s390: Fix program check on interrupt delivery handling
The current interrupt handling on s390 misbehaves on an error case. On s390 each cpu has the prefix area (lowcore) for interrupt delivery. This memory must always be available. If we fail to access the prefix area for a guest on interrupt delivery the configuration is completely unusable. There is no point in sending another program interrupt to an inaccessible lowcore. Furthermore, we should not bug the host kernel, because this can be triggered by userspace. I think the guest kernel itself can not trigger the problem, as SET PREFIX and SIGNAL PROCESSOR SET PREFIX both check that the memory is available and sane. As this is a userspace bug (e.g. setting the wrong guest offset, unmapping guest memory) we should kill the userspace process instead of BUGing the host kernel. In the long term we probably should notify the userspace process about this problem. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
