Subject: [PATCH v8 3/5] x86/xen/time: set pvclock flags on xen_time_init()
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 17:19:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171108171958.23921-4-joao.m.martins@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171108171958.23921-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com>
Specifically check for PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT and if this bit is set,
then set it too on pvclock flags. This allows Xen clocksource to use it
and thus speeding up xen_clocksource_read() callers (i.e. sched_clock())
