The problem:
On -RT, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:
1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled
This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.
The solution:
Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.
Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.
cyclictest command line:
# cyclictest -m -n -q -p99 -l 1000000 -h60 -D 1m
This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

Since lapic timer handler only wakes up a simple waitqueue,
it can be executed from hardirq context.
Also handle the case where hrtimer_start_expires fails due to -ETIME,
by injecting the interrupt to the guest immediately.
Reduces average cyclictest latency by 3us.
