From 7af192c954017499ec163bc9dbaaee2e593d7ef2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerd Hoffmann Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 16:17:29 +0200 Subject: x86: Add structs and functions for paravirt clocksource This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h). It also adds some helper functions to read system time and wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]). They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK. Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

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.
