    KVM: x86: Migrate the PIT only if vcpu0 is migrated, not any BSP · 0214f6bb
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Make vcpu0 the arbitrary owner of the PIT, as was intended when PIT
    migration was added by commit 2f599714 ("KVM: migrate PIT timer").
    The PIT was unintentionally turned into being owned by the BSP by commit
    c5af89b6 ("KVM: Introduce kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() function."), and was then
    unintentionally converted to a shared ownership model when
    kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() was modified to check the APIC base MSR instead of
    hardcoding vcpu0 as the BSP.
    
    Functionally, this just means the PIT's hrtimer is migrated less often.
    The real motivation is to remove the usage of kvm_vcpu_is_bsp(), so that
    more legacy/broken crud can be removed in a future patch.
    
    Fixes: 58d269d8 ("KVM: x86: BSP in MSR_IA32_APICBASE is writable")
