From 6d72283526090850274d065cd5d60af732cc5fc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Durrant Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2023 16:21:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM x86/xen: add an override for PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT Unless explicitly told to do so (by passing 'clocksource=tsc' and 'tsc=stable:socket', and then jumping through some hoops concerning potential CPU hotplug) Xen will never use TSC as its clocksource. Hence, by default, a Xen guest will not see PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT set in either the primary or secondary pvclock memory areas. This has led to bugs in some guest kernels which only become evident if PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT *is* set in the pvclocks. Hence, to support such guests, give the VMM a new Xen HVM config flag to tell KVM to forcibly clear the bit in the Xen pvclocks.
