This patch doesn't intend to implement "L1 TSC deadline timer to trigger while L2 is running", it just solves why vmcs02 is set even if exec_control = vmcs12->pin_based_vm_exec_control; exec_control |= vmcs_config.pin_based_exec_ctrl; exec_control &= ~PIN_BASED_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER; We should set pin-based execution controls right to implement "L1 TSC deadline timer to trigger while L2 is running".
