Subject: [PATCH] KVM: X86: Limit timer frequency with more smaller interval
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>
Anthoine reported:
The period used by Windows change over time but it can be 1 milliseconds
or less. I saw the limit_periodic_timer_frequency print so 500
microseconds is sometimes reached.
This patchs limits timer frequency with more smaller interval 200ms(5000Hz)
to leave some headroom as Paolo suggested since Windows 10 changed the
scheduler tick limit from 1024 Hz to 2048 Hz.
