Subject: [PATCH 5.18 10/35] KVM: selftests: Make hyperv_clock selftest more stable
Date: Tue,  9 Aug 2022 20:00:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220809175515.442327221@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220809175515.046484486@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit eae260be3a0111a28fe95923e117a55dddec0384 ]

hyperv_clock doesn't always give a stable test result, especially with
AMD CPUs. The test compares Hyper-V MSR clocksource (acquired either
with rdmsr() from within the guest or KVM_GET_MSRS from the host)
against rdtsc(). To increase the accuracy, increase the measured delay
(done with nop loop) by two orders of magnitude and take the mean rdtsc()
value before and after rdmsr()/KVM_GET_MSRS.
