Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [PATCH] kvmclock implementation, the guest part.
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:10:17 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12004098433502-git-send-email-gcosta@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12004098373625-git-send-email-gcosta-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

This is the guest part of kvm clock implementation
It does not do tsc-only timing, as tsc can have deltas
between cpus, and it did not seem worthy to me to keep
adjusting them.

We do use it, however, for fine-grained adjustment.

Other than that, time comes from the host.
