    RISC-V: KVM: Don't zero-out PMU snapshot area before freeing data · 47d40d93
    Anup Patel authored
    With the latest Linux-6.11-rc3, the below NULL pointer crash is observed
    when SBI PMU snapshot is enabled for the guest and the guest is forcefully
    powered-off.
    
      Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000508

    Clearly, the kvm_vcpu_write_guest() function is crashing because it is
    being called from kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() upon guest tear down.
    
    To address the above issue, simplify the kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() to
    not zero-out PMU snapshot area from kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() because
    the guest is anyway being tore down.
    
    The kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() is also called when guest changes
    PMU snapshot area of a VCPU but even in this case the previous PMU
    snaphsot area must not be zeroed-out because the guest might have
    reclaimed the pervious PMU snapshot area for some other purpose.
