From e04c5d76b0cfb66cadd900cf147526f2271884b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Tosatti Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:21:57 -0300 Subject: remove sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations Linux as a guest on KVM hypervisor, the only user of the pvclock vsyscall interface, does not require notification on task migration because: 1. cpu ID number maps 1:1 to per-CPU pvclock time info. 2. per-CPU pvclock time info is updated if the underlying CPU changes. 3. that version is increased whenever underlying CPU changes. Which is sufficient to guarantee nanoseconds counter is calculated properly.
