With halt-polling supported, there is checking for pending events or interrupts when vcpu executes idle instruction. Pending interrupts include injected SW interrupts and passthrough HW interrupts, such as HW timer interrupts, since HW timer works still even if vcpu exists from VM mode. Since HW timer pending interrupt can be set directly with CSR status register, and pending HW timer interrupt checking is used in vcpu block checking function, it is not necessary to switch to SW timer during halt-polling. This patch adds preemption disabling in function kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer(), and removes SW timer switching in idle instruction emulation function.

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.
