[PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Prevent exposing TSC deadline timer feature in the absence of in-kernel APIC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We must not report the TSC deadline timer feature on our own when user
space provides the APIC as we have no clue about its features.
