[PATCH v2 7/7] xen/arm: set the system time in Xen via the XENPF_settime64 hypercall

Stefano Stabellini
2015-11-10T11:57:55Z

If Linux is running as dom0, call XENPF_settime64 to update the system
time in Xen on pvclock_gtod notifications.

Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>

Changes in v2:
- properly convert arch_timer ticker to nsec
- rename dom0_op to platform_op
- use timespec64 interfaces
- use XENPF_settime64
