[PATCH] kvm: lapic: add module parameters for LAPIC_TIMER_ADVANCE_ADJUST_MAX/MIN

From: lihaiwei . kernel
Date: Wed Mar 03 2021 - 06:32:07 EST


From: Haiwei Li <lihaiwei@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In my test environment, advance_expire_delta is frequently greater than
the fixed LAPIC_TIMER_ADVANCE_ADJUST_MAX. And this will hinder the
adjustment.

Adding module parameters for LAPIC_TIMER_ADVANCE_ADJUST_MAX/MIN, so they
can be dynamically adjusted.
