Commit 112665286d ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context tracking exit guest
context before enabling irqs") moved guest_exit() into the interrupt
protected area to avoid wrong context warning (or worse). The problem is
that tick-based time accounting has not yet been updated at this point
(because it depends on the timer interrupt firing), so the guest time
gets incorrectly accounted to system time.
To fix the problem, follow the x86 fix in commit 1604571401 ("Defer
vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling"), and allow host IRQs to run
before accounting the guest exit time.
In the case vtime accounting is enabled, this is not required because TB
is used directly for accounting.
Before this patch, with CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y in the host and a
guest running a kernel compile, the 'guest' fields of /proc/stat are
stuck at zero. With the patch they can be observed increasing roughly as
expected.
