Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC writes
Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2014 21:30:44 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141104233044.GB29191@amt.cnet> (raw)
When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be
updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative
tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update.
