Hey Peng, Just speaking from the perspective of a Xen dev who's not an ARM dev: a few more words on the relationship between pvclk and device-passthrough would be helpful to set the context. It sounds like: * On ARM, passing through a device requires a clocksource (at least for many devices) * dom0 has the hardware clocksource, but at the moment domUs don't have a suitable clocksource * This patch implements pvclk front/backend suitable for such devices Is that right? In which case something like the following would be helpful: "This patch introduces pvclk, a paravirtualized clock source suitable for devices to use when passing through to domUs on ARM systems." (Obviously change it as necessary to make it accurate.) Thanks, -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
