When KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC{,2} is activated, KVM already checks for
irqchip_in_kernel() so normally SynIC irqs should never be set. It is,
however,  possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs
causing erroneous behavior.

The immediate issue being fixed is that kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic()
(kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast()) crashes when called with
'irq.shorthand = APIC_DEST_SELF' and 'src == NULL'.

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.

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.
