Subject: [PATCH v10 20/21] KVM: x86: Use kernel timekeeping snapshot for monotonic clock
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:33:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826213303.914988-21-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826213303.914988-1-seanjc@google.com>
Replace the KVM-private vgettsc()+/do_monotonic() timekeeping
reimplementation with calls to the recently crafted, generic
ktime_get_snapshot_id() interface. As noted previously, the snapshot
provides both the system time and the raw_cycles (TSC), atomically paired
using a sequence counter.
