...lock initialization. I don't see the problem. The masterclock data is updated here: host_tsc_clocksource = kvm_get_time_and_clockread( &ka->master_kernel_ns, &ka->master_cycle_now); kvm_get_time_and_clockread() gets those values from do_monotonic_boot(), which, barring bugs, should cause get_kvmclock_ns() to return exactly the same thing as ktime_get_boot_ns() + ka->kvmclock_offset, albeit in a rather roundabout manner. So what am I missing? Is there actually something wrong with my patch? > > See the following comment on x86.c: I...
