    powerpc/paravirt: correct preempt debug splat in vcpu_is_preempted() · fda0eb22
    Nathan Lynch authored
    vcpu_is_preempted() can be used outside of preempt-disabled critical
    sections, yielding warnings such as:

    The result of vcpu_is_preempted() is always used speculatively, and the
    function does not access per-cpu resources in a (Linux) preempt-unsafe way.
    Use raw_smp_processor_id() to avoid such warnings, adding explanatory
    comments.
