Wanpeng Li 9805cf03fd KVM: LAPIC: Narrow the timer latency between wait_lapic_expire and world switch
Let's treat lapic_timer_advance_ns automatic tuning logic as hypervisor
overhead, move it before wait_lapic_expire instead of between wait_lapic_expire
and the world switch, the wait duration should be calculated by the
up-to-date guest_tsc after the overhead of automatic tuning logic. This
patch reduces ~30+ cycles for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline-latency when testing
busy waits.

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.
