[-rt,2/2] KVM: lapic: mark LAPIC timer handler as irqsafe

Commit Message

Marcelo Tosatti April 8, 2015, 11:33 p.m. UTC

Since lapic timer handler only wakes up a simple waitqueue,
it can be executed from hardirq context.

Also handle the case where hrtimer_start_expires fails due to -ETIME,
by injecting the interrupt to the guest immediately.

Reduces average cyclictest latency by 3us.
