As Jan reported [1], lockdep complains about the VGIC not being bullet proof. This seems to be due to two issues: - When commit006df0f349("KVM: arm/arm64: Support calling vgic_update_irq_pending from irq context") promoted irq_lock and ap_list_lock to _irqsave, we forgot two instances of irq_lock. lockdeps seems to pick those up. - If a lock is _irqsave, any other locks we take inside them should be _irqsafe as well. So the lpi_list_lock needs to be promoted also. This fixes both issues by simply making the remaining instances of those locks _irqsave. One irq_lock is addressed in a separate patch, to simplify backporting.

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.
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.
