Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: LAPIC: Fix lapic timer injection delay
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 18:58:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1498755501-39602-4-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1498755501-39602-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or
even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer will program the
absolute target tsc value to vmcs preemption timer field w/ delta == 0.
The next vmentry results in an immediate vmx preemption timer vmexit
and the lapic timer injection is delayed due to this duration.  Actually
the lapic timer which is emulated by hrtimer can handle this correctly.

This patch fixes it by firing the lapic timer and injecting a timer interrupt
immediately during the next vmentry if the TSC deadline timer is programmed
really close to the deadline or even in the past. This saves ~1200 cycles on
the tscdeadline_immed test of vmexit.flat.
