Hi all,
the test fails for me if the preemption timer value is set to a value
that is above ~2000 (which means ~65000 TSC cycles on this machine).
The preemption timer seems to count faster than what is expected, for
example only up to 4 million cycles if you set it to one million.
So, I am leaving the patch out of kvm/queue for now, until I can
test it on more processors.
I tried redoing the patch with a completely different logic,
and I get exactly the same behavior and the same wrong values for the
TSC. My patch (below is the diff from Arthur's) is a bit simpler; like
Arthur I run L2 with the save-timer control set, but I do not need any
adjustment upon entry to L2 because I just use the value left by the
processor in the VMCS. Also, in your patch L1 is also running with
the preemption timer, if I understand the code correctly.
