x86: Convert remaining x86 clocksources to clocksource_register_hz/khz

2011-02-21T21:33:33+00:00

This converts the remaining x86 clocksources to use
clocksource_register_hz/khz.

KVM paravirt: Move kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu() from kvmclock.c to kvm.c.

2011-01-12T09:23:10+00:00

Async PF also needs to hook into smp_prepare_boot_cpu so move the hook
into generic code.

KVM guest: Move a printk that's using the clock before it's ready

2010-10-24T08:53:06+00:00

Fix a hang during SMP kernel boot on KVM that showed up
after commit 489fb490dbf8dab0249ad82b56688ae3842a79e8
(2.6.35) and 59aab522154a2f17b25335b63c1cf68a51fb6ae0
(2.6.34.1). The problem only occurs when
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is set.

x86, paravirt: don't compute pvclock adjustments if we trust the tsc

2010-05-19T08:41:05+00:00

If the HV told us we can fully trust the TSC, skip any
correction

x86: KVM guest: Try using new kvm clock msrs

2010-05-19T08:41:04+00:00

We now added a new set of clock-related msrs in replacement of the old
ones. In theory, we could just try to use them and get a return value
indicating they do not exist, due to our use of kvm_write_msr_save.

However, kvm clock registration happens very early, and if we ever
try to write to a non-existant MSR, we raise a lethal #GP, since our
idt handlers are not in place yet.

So this patch tests for a cpuid feature exported by the host to
decide which set of msrs are supported.

x86: Move get/set_wallclock to x86_platform_ops

2009-09-16T12:34:50+00:00

get/set_wallclock() have already a set of platform dependent
implementations (default, EFI, paravirt). MRST will add another
variant.

Moving them to platform ops simplifies the existing code and minimizes
the effort to integrate new variants.

KVM guest: fix bogus wallclock physical address calculation

2009-09-10T07:46:58+00:00

The use of __pa() to calculate the address of a C-visible symbol
is wrong, and can lead to unpredictable results. See arch/x86/include/asm/page.h
for details.

It should be replaced with __pa_symbol(), that does the correct math here,
by taking relocations into account.  This ensures the correct wallclock data
structure physical address is passed to the hypervisor.

x86: Move tsc_calibration to x86_init_ops

2009-08-31T07:35:47+00:00

TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by
separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as
well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and
override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware
hypervisor.

x86: Move percpu clockevents setup to x86_init_ops

2009-08-31T07:35:46+00:00

paravirt overrides the setup of the default apic timers as per cpu
timers. Moorestown needs to override that as well.

Move it to x86_init_ops setup and create a separate x86_cpuinit struct
which holds the function for the secondary evtl. hotplugabble CPUs.
