Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RESEND 1/2] kvmclock: use a light weight interface to update env->tsc.
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 16:22:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446106927-15490-2-git-send-email-liang.z.li@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1446106927-15490-1-git-send-email-liang.z.li@intel.com>
The commit 317b0a6d8 fixed an issue which caused by the outdated env->tsc
value, but the fix lead to cpu_synchronize_all_states called twice during
live migration. The cpu_synchronize_all_states takes about 130us for a VM
which has 4 vcpus, it's a bit expensive.
This patch use a light weight interface to update the env->tsc value, it
only takes about 20us to update the env->tsc.
