Subject: [PATCH 0/4] x86/hvm: RTC periodic timer adjustments
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:22:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1364476936-15824-1-git-send-email-tim@xen.org> (raw)
With these four patches, the time drift that was happening on Windows XP
guests goes away, at least in my testing. 4/4 is probably the most
important (with the other three, I still see slow drift), but the others
all seem like a good idea to me.
1/4 is just a bit of tidying, untangling the IRQ masking logic.
2/4 is the same patch I posted before, to keep the periods aligned.
3/4 avoids calling create_periodic_time() when it's already running.
4/4 holds off disabling the timer for a few ticks, while still
disabling it if the guest is obviously ignoring the IRQ.
Cheers,
Tim.
