What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: arm64: nv: Avoid dereferencing NULL VNCR pseudo-TLB

VNCR TLB invalidation occurs from MMU notifiers or TLBI instructions,

and either can race against a vcpu not being onlined yet (no pseudo-TLB

allocated). Similarly, the TLB might be invalid, and the invalidation

should be skipped in this case.

Both kvm_invalidate_vncr_ipa() and kvm_invalidate_vncr_va() are

expected to perform the same checks, except that the latter doesn't

check for the allocation and blindly dereferences the pointer.

Solve this by introducing a new iterator built on top of the usual

kvm_for_each_vcpu() that checks for both of the above conditions,

and convert the two users to it.
