Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Revert "KVM: x86: zero kvmclock_offset when vcpu0 initializes kvmclock system MSR"
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:54:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442591670-5216-3-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1442591670-5216-1-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com>

Shifting pvclock_vcpu_time_info.system_time on write to KVM system time
MSR is a change of ABI.  Probably only 2.6.16 based SLES 10 breaks due
to its custom enhancements to kvmclock, but KVM never declared the MSR
only for one-shot initialization.  (Doc says that only one write is
needed.)

This reverts commit b7e60c5aedd2b63f16ef06fde4f81ca032211bc5.
And adds a note to the definition of PVCLOCK_COUNTS_FROM_ZERO.
