Hi, Bibo,

Does this series have some relationship with the commit
"LoongArch:LSVZ: set timer offset at first time once" in our internal
repo?

No, it is not relative with internal repo. This patch is only optimization for timer save and restore. The internal repo is to set timestamp offset for VM.

I will post another patch for timestamp offset setting.

Regards
Bibo,

This patches removes SW timer switch during vcpu block stage. VM uses HW
timer rather than SW PV timer on LoongArch system, it can check pending
HW timer interrupt status directly, rather than switch to SW timer and
check injected SW timer interrupt.

When SW timer is not used in vcpu halt-polling mode, the relative
SW timer handling before entering guest can be removed also. Timer
emulation is simpler than before, SW timer emuation is only used in vcpu
thread context switch.

Changes in v3:
   Add kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable checking before kvm_vcpu_halt.

Changes in v2:
   Add halt polling support for idle instruction emulation, using api
kvm_vcpu_halt rather than kvm_vcpu_block in function kvm_emu_idle.
