Documentation: KVM: KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID now exposes TSC_DEADLINE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
TSC_DEADLINE is now advertised unconditionally by KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID,
since commit 9be4ec3 ("KVM: x86: Advertise TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER in
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID", 2024-12-18).  Adjust the documentation to
reflect the new behavior.

The same is true for the ``KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT`` paravirtualized feature.

CPU[EAX=1]:ECX[24] (TSC_DEADLINE) is not reported by ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID``.
It can be enabled if ``KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER`` is present and the kernel
has enabled in-kernel emulation of the local APIC.
On older versions of Linux, CPU[EAX=1]:ECX[24] (TSC_DEADLINE) is not reported by
``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID``, but it can be enabled if ``KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER``
is present and the kernel has enabled in-kernel emulation of the local APIC.
On newer versions, ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID`` does report the bit as available.
