Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: nVMX: make emulated nested preemption timer pinned
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 16:14:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472544841-4056-2-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1472544841-4056-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

Commit 61abdbe0bc ("kvm: x86: make lapic hrtimer pinned") pins the emulated 
lapic timer. This patch does the same for the emulated nested preemption 
timer to avoid vmexit an unrelated vCPU and the latency of kicking IPI to 
another vCPU.
