[PATCH] KVM: VMX: switch to hrtimer for TSC deadline timer when L2 guest is running
From: Haozhong Zhang
Date: Wed Jul 06 2016 - 01:13:35 EST
A different VMCS is loaded when L2 guest is running, so it's incorrect
to use the VMX preemption timer for L1 TSC deadline timer. This patch
switches to hrtimer for L1 TSC deadline timer when entering L2 guest,
and switches back to VMX preemption timer when nested VMEXIT from L2 to
L1.
