x86: KVM guest: fix section mismatch warning in kvmclock.c

2008-11-11T18:55:10+00:00

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x1722c): Section mismatch
in reference from the function kvm_setup_secondary_clock() to the
function .devinit.text:setup_secondary_APIC_clock()
The function kvm_setup_secondary_clock() references
the function __devinit setup_secondary_APIC_clock().
This is often because kvm_setup_secondary_clock lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of setup_secondary_APIC_clock is wrong.

x86: KVM guest: use paravirt function to calculate cpu khz

2008-10-15T08:15:17+00:00

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do
calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes.
This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should,
and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a
nasty bug.

Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it
preset.

x86: KVM guest: make kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu() static

x86: KVM guest: Use the paravirt clocksource structs and functions

2008-06-24T18:02:33+00:00

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs
and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen.

The patch also fixes an initialization bug: on SMP systems the
per-cpu has two different locations early at boot and after CPU
bringup.  kvmclock must take that in account when registering the
physical address within the host.

x86: KVM geust: make setup_secondary_clock definition dependent on local apic

2008-05-04T11:45:12+00:00

Since the pv_apic_ops are only present if CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is compiled
in, kvmclock failed to build without this option.  This patch fixes this.

x86: KVM guest: disable clock before rebooting.

2008-04-27T09:00:31+00:00

This patch writes 0 (actually, what really matters is that the
LSB is cleared) to the system time msr before shutting down
the machine for kexec.

Without it, we can have a random memory location being written
when the guest comes back

It overrides the functions shutdown, used in the path of kernel_kexec() (sys.c)
and crash_shutdown, used in the path of crash_kexec() (kexec.c)

x86: KVM guest: paravirtualized clocksource

2008-04-27T08:53:22+00:00

This is the guest part of kvm clock implementation
It does not do tsc-only timing, as tsc can have deltas
between cpus, and it did not seem worthy to me to keep
adjusting them.

We do use it, however, for fine-grained adjustment.

Other than that, time comes from the host.
