[PATCH 6/5] KVM: x86: fix periodic lapic timer with hrtimers

From: Radim KrÄmÃÅ
Date: Mon Oct 24 2016 - 11:03:45 EST


I have only compile-tested it, but it should optimize the switch and
also fix two bugs. The first one is major.
This needs that the deadline clearing in [5/5] is fixed.
---8<---
We must start the hrimer even if the expiration is already in the past,
otherwise the periodic timer would not rearm the hrtimer.

And computing next expiration of a period timer does not require current
time. The period should be constant, so it is more precise to add the
period to the last expiration time. This fixes a time difference
between hrtimer expiration and apic->lapic_timer.target_expiration.
