[RFC PATCH v7 27/37] x86/apic: Support LAPIC timer for Secure AVIC
From: Neeraj Upadhyay
Date: Tue Jun 10 2025 - 14:05:30 EST
Secure AVIC requires LAPIC timer to be emulated by the hypervisor.
KVM already supports emulating LAPIC timer using hrtimers. In order
to emulate LAPIC timer, APIC_LVTT, APIC_TMICT and APIC_TDCR register
values need to be propagated to the hypervisor for arming the timer.
APIC_TMCCT register value has to be read from the hypervisor, which
is required for calibrating the APIC timer. So, read/write all APIC
timer registers from/to the hypervisor.
