Subject: [PATCH 11/12] Use xen_vcpuop_clockevent, xen_clocksource and xen wallclock.
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 14:10:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1275570645-27189-11-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1275570645-27189-1-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>
Use xen_vcpuop_clockevent instead of hpet and APIC timers as main
clockevent device on all vcpus, use the xen wallclock time as wallclock
instead of rtc and use xen_clocksource as clocksource.
The pv clock algorithm needs to work correctly for the xen_clocksource
and xen wallclock to be usable, only modern Xen versions offer a
reliable pv clock in HVM guests (XENFEAT_hvm_safe_pvclock).
Using the hpet as clocksource means a VMEXIT every time we read/write to
the hpet mmio addresses, pvclock give us a better rating without
VMEXITs. Same goes for the xen wallclock and xen_vcpuop_clockevent
