https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/8/404/ Paolo original suggested to add
the max cputime limit to the vtime, when the cpu is running in nohz
full mode and stop the tick, jiffies will be updated depends on clock
source instead of clock event device in
guest(tick_nohz_update_jiffies() callsite, ktime_get()), so it will
not be affected by lost clock ticks, my patch keeps the limit for
vtime and remove the limit to non-vtime. However, your patch removes
the limit for both scenarios and results in the below calltrace for
vtime.
