[PATCH 0/2] x86/vdso: Add Hyper-V TSC page clocksource support
Hi, Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implemented the required support. Simple sysbench test shows the following results: Before: # time sysbench --test=memory --max-requests=500000 run ... real 1m22.618s user 0m50.193s sys 0m32.268s After: # time sysbench --test=memory

[PATCH v3 0/3] x86/vdso: Add Hyper-V TSC page clocksource support
Hi, merge window is about to close so I hope it's OK to make another try here. Changes since v2: - Add explicit READ_ONCE() to not rely on 'volatile' [Andy Lutomirski] - rdtsc() -> rdtsc_ordered() [Andy Lutomirski] - virt_rmb() -> smp_rmb() [Thomas Gleixner, Andy Lutomirski] Thomas, Andy, it seems the only blocker for the series was the ambiguity with TSC page read algorithm.

[PATCH v2 0/3] x86/vdso: Add Hyper-V TSC page clocksource support
Hi, while we're still waiting for a definitive ACK from Microsoft that the algorithm is good for SMP case (as we can't prevent the code in vdso from migrating between CPUs) I'd like to send v2 with some modifications to keep the discussion going. Changes since v1: - Document the TSC page reading protocol [Thomas Gleixner]. - Separate the TSC page reading code from
