Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: x86: Make the kvmclock CPU hotplug state generic
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 16:54:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020085401.80296-2-jinmengzhou22@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020085401.80296-1-jinmengzhou22@gmail.com>
From: Jinmeng Zhou <zhoujinmeng@bytedance.com>
Rename CPUHP_AP_X86_KVM_CLK_ONLINE to CPUHP_AP_X86_KVM_ONLINE so that the
state can be used for any x86 KVM work that needs to run when a CPU comes
online or goes offline, not just for kvmclock.
The state is currently registered by kvm_timer_init() only if the host
lacks X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC, so it is never installed on modern CPUs.
Register it unconditionally from kvm_x86_vendor_init(), and remove it from
kvm_x86_vendor_exit(). Add kvm_x86_cpu_online() and kvm_x86_cpu_offline()
wrappers that call the existing kvmclock helpers only on hosts without a
constant TSC.
Keep the registration after kvm_timer_init() so that the cpufreq notifier
is registered before kvmclock_cpu_online() samples the frequency of each
online CPU.
No functional change for kvmclock. On hosts with a constant TSC, the
state is now registered but its callbacks do nothing.
