Linux kernel source tree
d2060bd42e
Add a kvm_x86_ops hook to detect a nested pending "hypervisor timer" and
use it to effectively open a window for servicing the expired timer.
Like pending SMIs on VMX, opening a window simply means requesting an
immediate exit.
This fixes a bug where an expired VMX preemption timer (for L2) will be
delayed and/or lost if a pending exception is injected into L2. The
pending exception is rightly prioritized by vmx_check_nested_events()
and injected into L2, with the preemption timer left pending. Because
no window opened, L2 is free to run uninterrupted.
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
