[PATCH RFC 4/7] KVM: timer: program timer to a dedicated CPU

[Quan Xu <quan.xu0@gmail.com>]

From: Ben Luo <bn0418@gmail.com>

KVM always registers timer on the CPU which vCPU was running on.
Even though vCPU thread is rescheduled to another CPU, the timer
will be migrated to the target CPU as well. When timer expired,
timer interrupt could make guest-mode vCPU VM-exit on this CPU.

Since the working kthread scans periodically, some of the timer
events may be lost or delayed. We have to program these tsc-
deadline timestamps to MSR_IA32_TSC_DEADLINE as normal, which
will cause VM-exit and KVM will signal the working thread through
IPI to program timer, instread of registering on current CPU.
