Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: kvmclock: abolish PVCLOCK_COUNTS_FROM_ZERO
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:54:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442591670-5216-2-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1442591670-5216-1-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com>
Newer KVM won't be exposing PVCLOCK_COUNTS_FROM_ZERO anymore.
The purpose of that flags was to start counting system time from 0 when
the KVM clock has been initialized.
We can achieve the same by selecting one read as the initial point.
A simple subtraction will work unless the KVM clock count overflows
earlier (has smaller width) than scheduler's cycle count. We should be
safe till x86_128.
Because PVCLOCK_COUNTS_FROM_ZERO was enabled only on new hypervisors,
setting sched clock as stable based on PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT might
regress on older ones.
I presume we don't need to change kvm_clock_read instead of introducing
kvm_sched_clock_read. A problem could arise in case sched_clock is
expected to return the same value as get_cycles, but we should have
merged those clocks in that case.
