The L1 hypervisor may include the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR in the vmcs12 MSR VM-exit MSR-store area as a way of determining the highest TSC value that might have been observed by L2 prior to VM-exit. The current implementation does not capture a very tight bound on this value. To tighten the bound, add the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR to the vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area whenever it appears in the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area. When L0 processes the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area during the emulation of an L2->L1 VM-exit, special-case the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR, using the value stored in the vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area to derive the value to be stored in the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area.

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.
