Subject: [PATCH v3] KVM: halt-polling: poll if emulated lapic timer will fire soon
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>
If an emulated lapic timer will fire soon(in the scope of 10us the
base of dynamic halt-polling, lower-end of message passing workload
latency TCP_RR's poll time < 10us) we can treat it as a short halt,
and poll to wait it fire, the fire callback apic_timer_fn() will set
KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER, and this flag will be check during busy poll.
This can avoid context switch overhead and the latency which we wake
up vCPU.
This feature is slightly different from current advance expiration
way. Advance expiration rely on the vCPU is running(do polling before
vmentry). But in some cases, the timer interrupt may be blocked by
other thread(i.e., IF bit is clear) and vCPU cannot be scheduled to
run immediately. So even advance the timer early, vCPU may still see
the latency. But polling is different, it ensures the vCPU to aware
the timer expiration before schedule out.
iperf TCP get ~6% bandwidth improvement.

v2 -> v3:
* add Yang's statement to patch description
v1 -> v2:
* add return statement to non-x86 archs
* capture never expire case for x86 (hrtimer is not started)
