    KVM: nVMX: keep preemption timer enabled during L2 execution · 9314006d
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    Because the vmcs12 preemption timer is emulated through a separate hrtimer,
    we can keep on using the preemption timer in the vmcs02 to emulare L1's
    TSC deadline timer.
    
    However, the corresponding bit in the pin-based execution control field
    must be kept consistent between vmcs01 and vmcs02.  On vmentry we copy
    it into the vmcs02; on vmexit the preemption timer must be disabled in
    the vmcs01 if a preemption timer vmexit happened while in guest mode.
    
    The preemption timer value in the vmcs02 is set by vmx_vcpu_run, so it
    need not be considered in prepare_vmcs02.
