Subject: [PATCH v13 07/13] x86/sev: Mark Secure TSC as reliable clocksource
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 11:21:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241021055156.2342564-8-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241021055156.2342564-1-nikunj@amd.com>
In SNP guest environment with Secure TSC enabled, unlike other clock
sources (such as HPET, ACPI timer, APIC, etc.), the RDTSC instruction is
handled without causing a VM exit, resulting in minimal overhead and
jitters. Hence, mark Secure TSC as the only reliable clock source,
bypassing unstable calibration.
