[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v4 06/30] KVM: x86: Explicitly disable TSC scaling without CONSTANT_TSC
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
KVM does make an attempt to cope with non-constant TSC, and has
notifiers to handle host TSC frequency changes. However, it *only*
adjusts the KVM clock, and doesn't adjust TSC frequency scaling when
the host changes.
This is presumably because non-constant TSCs were fixed in hardware
long before TSC scaling was implemented, so there should never be real
CPUs which have TSC scaling but *not* CONSTANT_TSC.
Such a combination could potentially happen in some odd L1 nesting
environment, but it isn't worth trying to support it. Just make the
dependency explicit.
