In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: LAPIC: Also cancel preemption timer during SET_LAPIC
The below warning is splatting during guest reboot.

This can be triggered by not exposing tsc-deadline mode and doing a reboot in
the guest. The lapic_shutdown() function which is called in sys_reboot path
will not disarm the flying timer, it just masks LVTT. lapic_shutdown() clears
APIC state w/ LVT_MASKED and timer-mode bit is 0, this can trigger timer-mode
switch between tsc-deadline and oneshot/periodic, which can result in preemption
timer be cancelled in apic_update_lvtt(). However, We can\'t depend on this when
not exposing tsc-deadline mode and oneshot/periodic modes emulated by preemption
timer. Qemu will synchronise states around reset, let\'s cancel preemption timer
under KVM_SET_LAPIC.
