I just found this explanation:

Timer_mode 0/1 track exact number of timer interrupt which need be
injected to guest. If timer interrupts cannot be injected on time,
pending_count++. The difference is that for mode 0, guest TSC is also
hold back if there are timer interrupts pending, while for mode 1 guest
TSC always equals to (host TSC - constant offset)

Time mode 2/3 don't inject each pending time interrupt to guest, hoping
guest OS itself can handle time interrupt lost and adjust time using
platform timer (e.g. HPET)'s counter.
