...structure in a shared memory between hypervisor and guest, initialized by each CPU through hypercall. Steal clock is got updated by the hypervisor and read by the guest. The patchset consists of 5 items: 1. x86/vmware: Make vmware_select_hypercall() __init Minor clean up. 2. x86/vmware: Remove vmware_sched_clock_setup() Preparation for the main patch. 3. x86/vmware: Steal time clock for VMware guest Core steal time support functionality. 4. x86/vmware: Enable steal time accounting Support for steal time accounting used by update_rq_clock(). 5. x86/vmware: Use bool type for vmw_sched_clock Minor clean up.

After aa297292d708, there are separate native calibrations for cpu_khz and tsc_khz. The code sets x86_platform.calibrate_cpu to native_calibrate_cpu() which looks in cpuid leaf 0x16 or msrs for the cpu frequency. Since we keep the tsc_khz constant (even after vmotion), the cpu_khz and tsc_khz may start diverging. tsc_init() now does cpu_khz = x86_platform.calibrate_cpu(); tsc_khz =

Today paravirtualization is a all-or-nothing game: either a kernel is compiled with no paravirtualization support at all, or it is supporting paravirtualized environments like Xen pv-guests or lguest additionally to some paravirtualized tuning for KVM, Hyperv, VMWare or Xen HVM-guests.
