Wanpeng Li 367b49086b KVM: LAPIC: Enable timer posted-interrupt only when mwait/hlt is advertised
[ Upstream commit 1714a4eb6fb0cb79f182873cd011a8ed60ac65e8 ]

As commit 0c5f81dad4 ("KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted
interrupt") mentioned that the host admin should well tune the guest
setup, so that vCPUs are placed on isolated pCPUs, and with several pCPUs
surplus for *busy* housekeeping.  In this setup, it is preferrable to
disable mwait/hlt/pause vmexits to keep the vCPUs in non-root mode.

However, if only some guests isolated and others not, they would not
have any benefit from posted timer interrupts, and at the same time lose
VMX preemption timer fast paths because kvm_can_post_timer_interrupt()
returns true and therefore forces kvm_can_use_hv_timer() to false.

By guaranteeing that posted-interrupt timer is only used if MWAIT or
HLT are done without vmexit, KVM can make a better choice and use the
VMX preemption timer and the corresponding fast paths.

README

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.
