[ Upstream commit 11776aa0cfa7d007ad1799b1553bdcbd830e5010 ] Handle VMX preemption timer VM-Exits due to KVM forcing an exit in the exit fastpath, i.e. avoid calling back into handle_preemption_timer() for the same exit. There is no work to be done for forced exits, as the name suggests the goal is purely to get control back in KVM. In addition to shaving a few cycles, this will allow cleanly separating handle_fastpath_preemption_timer() from handle_preemption_timer(), e.g. it's not immediately obvious why _apparently_ calling handle_fastpath_preemption_timer() twice on a "slow" exit is necessary: the "slow" call is necessary to handle exits from L2, which are excluded from the fastpath by vmx_vcpu_run().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
