Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: LAPIC: Periodically revaluate to get conservative lapic_timer_advance_ns
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>
Even if for realtime CPUs, cache line bounces, frequency scaling, presence
of higher-priority RT tasks, etc can still cause different response. These
interferences should be considered and periodically revaluate whether
or not the lapic_timer_advance_ns value is the best, do nothing if it is,
otherwise recaluate again. Set lapic_timer_advance_ns to the minimal
conservative value from all the estimated values.
Testing on Skylake server, cat vcpu*/lapic_timer_advance_ns, before patch:
