kvm: x86: Disable KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING if tsc is in always catchup mode
[ Upstream commit 3a55f729240a686aa8af00af436306c0cd532522 ] If vcpu has tsc_always_catchup set each request updates pvclock data. KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING consumers such as ptp_kvm_x86 rely on tsc read on host's side and do hypercall inside pvclock_read_retry loop leading to infinite loop in such situation. v3: Removed warn Changed return code to KVM_EFAULT v2: Added warn Signed-off-by: Anton Romanov <romanton@google.com> Message-Id: <20220216182653.506850-1-romanton@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
