Thanks for your confirmation.
  I thought wc_secs is a changeable value, so i am wrong.
The NOW() is calling get_s_time() here, which has problem with RDTSC you 
mentioned.
So the next step is to get system time through hypercall HVMOP_get_time, 
and then add wc_secs
to get wallclock.
Is it the patch you mentioned in 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-07/msg00477.html ?
I will add this patch and get the wallclock time then.

Yes, I got zero value for wc_secs several days ago. But it became 
non-zero after i rebooted dom0,
and i failed to reproduce the issue now. I assumed wc_secs should change 
regularly.
Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Thanks
