The logic was inversed and reported running if the cpu was stopped.
Let's fix that.

I'm wondering why nobody noticed this before...

AFAIR, it "SENSE RUNNING" allows you to test if the target CPU is
scheduled by the hypervisor. So it is used for performance optimization,
but correctness of a program barely depends on it.

a) You can always return "not running" and it would be totally fine

b) Return "running" would also most probably always valid (although it
does not make too much sense for STOPPED CPUs).

E.g., in KVM we set CPUSTAT_RUNNING whenever we load the CPU. This can
also happen (AFAIR) when the CPU state is already stopped (e.g.,
currently getting stopped) or still sleeping (e.g., about to wake up, or
in kvm_vcpu_block()).


Long story short: There is no trusting on these values.


But yeah, the heuristic we are using is sub-optimal. :)

That answer makes me highly uncomfortable...

No idea.
How many people use smp with tcg?

The kernel uses it (pcpu_running()) to decide whether
- To send an emergency call or an external call (external calls are
  faster when the CPU is already running - e.g., SIE HW assist)
- In arch_vcpu_is_preempted(), for an heuristic

So nothing actually breaks (as I explained, only used for performance
optimizations)
