x86/kvm/hyper-v: avoid spurious pending stimer on vCPU init
When userspace initializes guest vCPUs it may want to zero all supported MSRs including Hyper-V related ones including HV_X64_MSR_STIMERn_CONFIG/ HV_X64_MSR_STIMERn_COUNT. With commit f3b138c5 ("kvm/x86: Update SynIC timers on guest entry only") we began doing stimer_mark_pending() unconditionally on every config change. The issue I'm observing manifests itself as following: - Qemu writes 0 to STIMERn_{CONFIG,COUNT} MSRs and marks all stimers as pending in stimer_pending_bitmap, arms KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER; - kvm_hv_has_stimer_pending() starts returning true; - kvm_vcpu_has_events() starts returning true; - kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() starts returning true; - when kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() gets into (vcpu->arch.mp_state == KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED) case: - kvm_vcpu_block() gets in 'kvm_vcpu_check_block(vcpu) < 0' and returns immediately, avoiding normal wait path; - -EAGAIN is returned from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() immediately forcing userspace to retry. So instead of normal wait path we get a busy loop on all secondary vCPUs before they get INIT signal. This seems to be undesirable, especially given that this happens even when Hyper-V extensions are not used. Generally, it seems to be pointless to mark an stimer as pending in stimer_pending_bitmap and arm KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER as the only thing kvm_hv_process_stimers() will do is clear the corresponding bit. We may just not mark disabled timers as pending instead.
