3.19.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <[email protected]> commit 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce upstream. If we were migrated right after __getcpu, but before reading the migration_count, we wouldn't notice that we read TSC of a different VCPU, nor that KVM's bug made pvti invalid, as only migration_count on source VCPU is increased. Change vdso instead of updating migration_count on destination.
