[RESEND PATCH 1/3] x86/vmware: Use tsc_khz value for calibrate_cpu()
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 = x86_platform.calibrat...

[PATCH 4.14 064/159] x86/virt, x86/platform: Merge struct x86_hyper into struct x86_platform and struct x86_init
...se let me know.
------------------
From: Juergen Gross <jgross at suse.com>
commit f72e38e8ec8869ac0ba5a75d7d2f897d98a1454e upstream.
Instead of x86_hyper being either NULL on bare metal or a pointer to a
struct hypervisor_x86 in case of the kernel running as a guest merge
the struct into x86_platform and x86_init.
This will remove the need for wrappers making it hard to find out what
is being called. With dummy functions added for all callbacks testing
for a NULL function pointer can be removed, too.

What is aa297292d708?
Please make that:
commit aa297292d708 ("x86/tsc: Enumerate SKL cpu_khz and tsc_khz via

Which code? And what has the leaf and the msrs to do with your patch?

[PATCH 2/3] x86/vmware: Add basic paravirt ops support
I believe our trademark guidelines say we aren't supposed to use VMware as a
noun to mean a product, only to mean the company. So we can say "running on
VMware ESXi" or "running in a VMware virtual machine", but "running on VMware"
is wrong. There is supposedly some good legal reason for this related to
keeping our trademark.
