A VMX preemption timer value of '0' at the time of VMEnter is
architecturally guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior to the CPU
executing any instructions in the guest. KVM serendipitously
emulates this behavior when running as L0, but doesn't ensure
correct emulation when running at L1 or higher. Explicitly
emulate the architectural behavior of a timer value of '0'.
v1->v2:
- move flag to vmx->loaded_vmcs
- extract arming the timer to a separate function instead of using a boolean
- clean up SVM
Sean Christopherson (3):
KVM: VMX: immediately mark preemption timer expired only for zero
value
KVM: VMX: modify preemption timer bit only when arming timer
KVM: VMX: use preemption timer to force immediate VMExit
