[PATCH 38/50] KVM: only abort guest entry if timer count goes from 0->1

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Thu Jun 26 2008 - 08:40:35 EST


From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

Only abort guest entry if the timer count went from 0->1, since for 1->2
or larger the bit will either be set already or a timer irq will have
been injected.

Using atomic_inc_and_test() for it also introduces an SMP barrier
to the LAPIC version (thought it was unecessary because of timer
migration, but guest can be scheduled to a different pCPU between exit
and kvm_vcpu_block(), so there is the possibility for a race).

Noticed by Avi.
