The trailing newlines will lead to extra newlines in the trace file
which looks like the following output, so remove it.

qemu-system-x86-15695 [002] ...1 15774.839240: kvm_hv_timer_state: vcpu_id 0 hv_timer 1

Advance lapic timer tries to hidden the hypervisor overhead between the
host emulated timer fires and the guest awares the timer is fired. However,
even though after more sustaining optimizations, kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency 
still awares ~1000 cycles latency since we lost the time between the end of 
wait_lapic_expire and the guest awares the timer is fired. There are 
codes between the end of wait_lapic_expire and the world switch, furthermore, 
the world switch itself also has overhead. Actually the guest_tsc is equal 
to the target deadline time in wait_lapic_expire is too late, guest will
aware the latency between the end of wait_lapic_expire() and after vmentry 
to the guest. This patch takes this time into consideration. 

The vmentry_advance_ns module parameter is conservative 25ns by default(thanks 
to Radim's kvm-unit-tests/vmentry_latency.flat), it can be tuned/reworked in 
the future.

v3 -> v4:
 * default value is 25ns
 * compute vmentry_advance_cycles in kvm_set_tsc_khz() path
v2 -> v3:
 * read-only module parameter
 * get_vmentry_advance_cycles() not inline
v1 -> v2:
 * rename get_vmentry_advance_delta to get_vmentry_advance_cycles
 * cache vmentry_advance_cycles by setting param bit 0 
 * add param max limit

I don't know.  It seems somewhat hard to tune and in cyclictest it only
happens for preemption_timer=N.  Are you using preemption_timer=N
together with the LAPIC-timer-on-service-CPU patches?

A 25ns conservative value makes no benefit for cyclictest any more
even when preemption_timer=N. Btw, maybe it is the time to merge the
LAPIC-timer-on-service-CPU patches now. :)
