From 5d3cb0f6a8e3af018a522ae8d36f8f7d2511b5d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 15:43:51 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Improve TSC offset matching There are a few improvements that can be made to the TSC offset matching code. First, we don't need to call the 128-bit multiply (especially on a constant number), the code works much nicer to do computation in nanosecond units. Second, the way everything is setup with software TSC rate scaling, we currently have per-cpu rates. Obviously this isn't too desirable to use in practice, but if for some reason we do change the rate of all VCPUs at runtime, then reset the TSCs, we will only want to match offsets for VCPUs running at the same rate. Finally, for the case where we have an unstable host TSC, but rate scaling is being done in hardware, we should call the platform code to compute the TSC offset, so the math is reorganized to recompute the base instead, then transform the base into an offset using the existing API.
