In commit ec0671d5684a ("KVM: LAPIC: Delay trace_kvm_wait_lapic_expire
tracepoint to after vmexit", 2019-06-04), trace_kvm_wait_lapic_expire
was moved after guest_exit_irqoff() because invoking tracepoints within
kvm_guest_enter/kvm_guest_exit caused a lockdep splat.
These days this is not necessary, because commit 87fa7f3e98a1 ("x86/kvm:
Move context tracking where it belongs", 2020-07-09) restricted
the RCU extended quiescent state to be closer to vmentry/vmexit.
Moving the tracepoint back to __kvm_wait_lapic_expire is more accurate,
because it will be reported even if vcpu_enter_guest causes multiple
vmentries via the IPI/Timer fast paths, and it allows the removal of
advance_expire_delta.

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.
