When the TSC MSR is captured while an L2 guest is running then restored,
the 'tsc_offset' ends up capturing the L02 TSC_OFFSET instead of the L01
TSC_OFFSET. So ensure that this is compensated for when storing the value.

Using both "offset + l1_tsc_offset" and "offset - l1_tsc_offset" in this 
function seems wrong to me: if vcpu->arch.tsc_offset must be "offset - 
l1_tsc_offset", then "offset" must be written to TSC_OFFSET.

I think the bug was introduced by commit 3e3f50262.  Before,
vmx_read_tsc_offset returned the L02 offset; now it always contains the
L01 offset.  So the right fix is to adjust vcpu->arch.tsc_offset on
nested vmentry/vmexit.  If is_guest_mode(vcpu), kvm_read_l1_tsc must use
a new kvm_x86_ops callback to subtract the L12 offset from the value it
returns.

Thanks,

Paolo

Ooops! I forgot to remove the + l1_tsc_offset :D

Now looking further at the code, it seems that everywhere in the code
tsc_offset is treated as the L01 TSC_OFFSET.

Like here:

        if (vmcs12->cpu_based_vm_exec_control &
CPU_BASED_USE_TSC_OFFSETING)
                vmcs_write64(TSC_OFFSET,
                        vcpu->arch.tsc_offset + vmcs12->tsc_offset);

and here:

        vmcs_write64(TSC_OFFSET, vcpu->arch.tsc_offset);

and here:

u64 kvm_read_l1_tsc(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 host_tsc)
{
        return vcpu->arch.tsc_offset + kvm_scale_tsc(vcpu, host_tsc);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kvm_read_l1_tsc);

... would not it be simpler and more inline with the current code to
just do what I did above + remove the "+ l1_tsc_offset" + probably
document tsc_offset ?

Problem is, I don't think it's correct. :)  A good start would be to try
disabling MSR_IA32_TSC interception in KVM, prepare a kvm-unit-tests
test that reads the MSR, and see if you get the host or guest TSC...

I actually just submitted a patch with your original suggestion
(I hope)  because I realized that adjust tsc was still using the wrong
tsc_offset anyway :)
