Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/2] KVM: x86: Support using the VMX preemption timer for APIC Timer periodic/oneshot mode
Most windows guests which I have on hand currently still utilize APIC Timer
periodic/oneshot mode instead of APIC Timer tsc-deadline mode:
- windows 2008 server r2
- windows 2012 server r2
- windows 7
- windows 10
This patchset adds the support using the VMX preemption timer for APIC Timer
periodic/oneshot mode.
I add a print in oneshot mode testcase of kvm-unit-tests/apic.flat and observed
that w/ patch the latency is ~2% of w/o patch. I think maybe something is still
not right in the patchset, in addition, tmcct in apic_get_tmcct() maybe is not
calculated correctly. Your comments to improve the patchset is a great appreciated.
