Subject: [PATCH 11/16] x86/paravirt: Don't use a PV sched_clock in CoCo guests with trusted TSC
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2025 18:17:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250201021718.699411-12-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250201021718.699411-1-seanjc@google.com>

Silently ignore attempts to switch to a paravirt sched_clock when running
as a CoCo guest with trusted TSC.  In hand-wavy theory, a misbehaving
hypervisor could attack the guest by manipulating the PV clock to affect
guest scheduling in some weird and/or predictable way.  More importantly,
reading TSC on such platforms is faster than any PV clock, and sched_clock
is all about speed.
