Using both "offset + l1_tsc_offset" and "offset - l1_tsc_offset" in this
function seems wrong to me: if vcpu->arch.tsc_offset must be "offset -
l1_tsc_offset", then "offset" must be written to TSC_OFFSET.
I think the bug was introduced by commit 3e3f50262. Before,
vmx_read_tsc_offset returned the L02 offset; now it always contains the
L01 offset. So the right fix is to adjust vcpu->arch.tsc_offset on
nested vmentry/vmexit. If is_guest_mode(vcpu), kvm_read_l1_tsc must use
a new kvm_x86_ops callback to subtract the L12 offset from the value it
returns.
Thanks,
Paolo
