[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] x86/xen: sync the CMOS RTC as well as the Xen wallclock

[David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>

Adjustments to Xen's persistent_clock via update_persistent_clock()
don't actually persist, as the Xen wallclock is just used by domU
guests, and modifications to it do not modify the underlying CMOS RTC.

The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook can be used to keep the hardware
RTC synchronized (as on bare metal).  Because the Xen wallclock is now
kept synchronized by xen_pvclock_gtod_notify() on any system time
change, xen_set_wallclock() need not do this and dom0 can simply use
the native implementation.
