Subject: [PATCH v6 46/51] x86/paravirt: Plumb a return code into __paravirt_set_sched_clock()
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 16:36:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806233609.212337-47-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806233609.212337-1-seanjc@google.com>
Add a return code to __paravirt_set_sched_clock() so that the kernel can
reject attempts to use a PV sched_clock without breaking the caller. E.g.
when running as a CoCo VM with a secure TSC, using a PV clock is generally
undesirable.
Note, kvmclock is the only PV clock that does anything "extra" beyond
simply registering itself as sched_clock, i.e. is the only caller that
needs to check the new return value.
