[PATCH v6 0/4] KVM: x86: Fix hard lockup with periodic timer in guest

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

fuqiang's patch/series to fix a bug in KVM's local APIC timer emulation where
it can trigger a hard lockup due to restarting an hrtimer with an expired
deadline over and over (and over).

v6:
 - Split the apic_timer_fn() change to a separate patch (mainly for a
   bisection point).
 - Handle (and WARN on) period=0 in apic_timer_fn().
 - Add a patch to grab a pointer to the kvm_timer struct locally.
 - Tag the fixes (and prep work) for stable@.

v5:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251107034802.39763-1-fuqiang.wng@gmail.com
 - Add more details in commit messages and letters.

v4:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251105135340.33335-1-fuqiang.wng@gmail.com
 - merge two patch into one

v3:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251022150055.2531-1-fuqiang.wng@gmail.com
 - Fix: advanced SW timer (hrtimer) expiration does not catch up to current
   time.
 - optimize the commit message of patch 2

v2:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251021154052.17132-1-fuqiang.wng@gmail.com
 - Added a bugfix for hardlockup in v2
