Filter out drastic fluctuation and random fluctuation, remove
timer_advance_adjust_done altogether, the adjustment would be 
continuous.

Is changing 'ns' to a u32 intentionaly?  It's still cast to a u32 in the
calculations, and set from @advance_expire_delta.

Shouldn't LAPIC_TIMER_ADVANCE_FILTER be used in the other "if ... > 5000"
check?
	
	if (unlikely(timer_advance_ns > 5000))

And maybe name it LAPIC_TIMER_ADVANCE_MAX or something?

> +		abs(advance_expire_delta) < LAPIC_TIMER_ADVANCE_ADJUST_DONE) {

This should be aligned with the other 'abs', e.g.:

	if (abs(...) ||
	    abs(...))
		return

> +		/* filter out random fluctuations */

If you put the comment above the if statement then you can drop the
parentheses.  And if you're going to bother with a comment, maybe be a bit
more explicit?  E.g.:

	/* Do not adjust for tiny fluctuations or large random spikes. */
	if (abs(...) ||
	    abs(...))
		return;

Rather than expose 'lapic_timer_advance_ns' from x86.c, what if we add a
'static bool dynamically_adjust_timer_advance __read_mostly;' in lapic.c,
and have that be set in kvm_create_lapic() and checked here?  That'd make
this code a little more readable, would make this patch more obvious (it
wasn't immediately clear why lapic_timer_advance_ns was being exposed),
and would reduce the probability of unintentionally writing/corrupting the
module param.

Parentheses can be dropped (unless this is converted to a local global, as
above).
