[PATCH v5 28/48] KMV: PPC: Book3S HV: Use set_dec to set decrementer to host

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2021-04-01 15:16:38
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for powerpc (kvm/powerpc), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

The host Linux timer code arms the decrementer with the value
'decrementers_next_tb - current_tb' using set_dec(), which stores
val - 1 on Book3S-64, which is not quite the same as what KVM does
to re-arm the host decrementer when exiting the guest.

This shouldn't be a significant change, but it makes the logic match
and avoids this small extra change being brought into the next patch.
