Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] don't compute pvclock adjustments if we trust the tsc
Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 11:52:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1272901927-829-7-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1272901927-829-6-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com>
If the HV told us we can fully trust the TSC, skip any
correction
