[PATCH v8 12/17] KVM: x86: Fix compute_guest_tsc() to handle negative time deltas

[Sean Christopherson]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The compute_guest_tsc() function computes the guest TSC at a given
kernel_ns timestamp. When the master clock reference point
(master_kernel_ns) is earlier than vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec, the delta
is negative. Since pvclock_scale_delta() takes a u64, the negative
value wraps to a huge positive number, producing a wildly wrong result.

Handle negative deltas explicitly by scaling the absolute value of the
delta and applying it to this_tsc_write with the appropriate sign.

This is believed to be unreachable in practice; no path has been
identified which invokes compute_guest_tsc() with a timestamp from
before the vCPU's TSC generation was established. Fix it for
robustness, in the spirit of defence in depth.
