Currently, the kernel permits userspace VMMs to enable and use the VMX-preemption timer by allowing writes to the following VMCS fields: - VMX_GUEST_PREEMPTION_TIMER_VALUE (count) - VMX_CONTROL_PIN_EXECUTION_CONTROLS (timer enable bit) - VMX_CONTROL_EXIT_CONTROLS (save current count on context switch bit) It also forwards the timer expiry event as a VM exit. But it does not tell userspace how fast the timer will count down, making it impossible to use. This commit exposes the timer's scale via `seL4_X86_VCPU_ReadMSR`.
