Subject: [PATCH v8 05/17] KVM: x86: Avoid NTP frequency skew for KVM clock on 32-bit host
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 16:39:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804233923.3504629-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804233923.3504629-1-seanjc@google.com>

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

Commit 53fafdbb8b21 ("KVM: x86: switch KVMCLOCK base to monotonic raw
clock") did so only for 64-bit hosts, by capturing the boot offset from
within the existing clocksource notifier update_pvclock_gtod().

That notifier was added in commit 16e8d74d2da9 ("KVM: x86: notifier for
clocksource changes") but only on x86_64, because its original purpose
was just to disable the "master clock" mode which is only supported on
x86_64.

Now that the notifier is used for more than disabling master clock mode,
enable it for the 32-bit build too so that get_kvmclock_base_ns() can be
unaffected by NTP sync on 32-bit too.
