Subject: [PATCH v9 20/21] KVM: x86: Use kernel timekeeping snapshot for monotonic clock
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:54:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810225500.869288-21-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810225500.869288-1-seanjc@google.com>

Replace the KVM-private vgettsc()+/do_monotonic() timekeeping
reimplementation with calls to the recently crafted, generic
ktime_get_snapshot_id() interface.  As noted previously, the snapshot
provides both the system time and the raw_cycles (TSC), atomically paired
using a sequence counter.
