[PATCH v3 6/7] x86/kvm: pass stable clocksource to guests when running nested on Hyper-V

Vitaly Kuznetsov
2018-01-16T18:28:06Z

Currently, KVM is able to work in 'masterclock' mode passing
PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to guests when the clocksource we use on the host
is TSC. When running nested on Hyper-V we normally use a different one:
TSC page which is resistant to TSC frequency changes on event like L1
migration. Add support for it in KVM.

The only non-trivial change in the patch is in vgettsc(): when updating
our gtod copy we now need to get both the clockread and tsc value.
