Respin of the paravirt clock patch series. On the host side the kvm paravirt clock is made compatible with the xen clock. On the guest side some xen code has been factored out into a separate source file shared by both kvm and xen clock implementations. This time it should work ok for kvm smp guests ;) cheers, Gerd

paravirt clock source patches, next round, with a bunch of changes in the host code according to Avi's review comments and some minor code tweaks. cheers, Gerd

paravirt clock source patches, next round. There is now a pvclock-abi.h file with the structs and some longish comments in it and everybody is switched over to use the stuff in there. Some minor tweaks after super-fast review by Jeremy. The queue is on top of the kvm git tree. The first two patches should have no kvm dependencies and should apply to linus tree just fine. cheers, Gerd

Hi, I find PV domin hung, When we take those steps 1, save PV domain 2, change system time of PV domain back 3, restore a PV domain or 1, migrate a PV domain from Machine A to Machine B 2, the system time of Machine B is slower than Machine A. the problem is wc_sec will be change when system-time chanaged in dom0 or restore in a

F.Y.I >>> "Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@intel.com> 08.11.27. 11:50 >>>Sorry for a typo. I did mean domU instead of dom0. :-) The point here is that time_resume will sync to new system time and wall clock at restore, and thus pv guest should be able to continue... Xen system time is not wallclock time which just counts up from power up. As Keir points out, only its

While digging through the time code, I found something very strange in do_settime: x = (secs * 1000000000ULL) + (u64)nsecs - system_time_base; y = do_div(x, 1000000000); spin_lock(&wc_lock); wc_sec = _wc_sec = (u32)x; wc_nsec = _wc_nsec = (u32)y; spin_unlock(&wc_lock); The value "x" appears to be the number of nanoseconds, while the value

It''s come to our attention, that the time gets screwed up when set between EPOCH and EPOCH + uptime. This may not seem important (because we don''t live in the 70s anymore) but it makes LTP fail. LTP has a date test that checks what happens when set to EPOCH + 100 secs + 100 nsecs, and makes sure that it gets a proper result. The following patches helps xen handle the case

Various versions of Linux under various circumstances select TSC as the primary clocksource for the kernel. This is especially true for uniprocessor kernels, but also in some cases for multiprocessor kernels. In most cases, this is because a processor bit (tsc_invariant? constant_tsc?) is passed through directly from the hardware via Xen and tested by the hvm guest and the result implies that

While in the upstream kernel I''m unable to find any use of XENPF_settime (and the DOM0_SETTIME alias of it) at all, in the 2.6.18 tree (and the forward ports of it) the function gets used only when ntp_synced() returns true (and - that''s minor - when independent_wallclock is not set). It would however seem to me that this doesn''t cover the case where the host clock gets

Doing some janitorial (you cleaning the flooded toilets and such) work today.

Unlike the <cpu> node (see the other thread on the libguestfs ML), reading the Real Time Clock doesn't require libvirt and does work :-) For reference, read: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsTime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone To test this you can run virt-p2v under qemu with a RTC offset: make -C p2v \ run-virt-p2v-in-a-vm \

When using a vtsc, hvm_set_guest_time changes hvm_vcpu.stime_offset, which is used in the vcpu time structure to calculate the tsc_timestamp, so after updating stime_offset we need to propagate the change to vcpu_time in order for the guest to get the right time if using the PV clock. This was not done correctly, since in context_switch update_vcpu_system_time was called before vmx_do_resume,

The paravirtualized guests are offered wallclock time referenced to UTC only, while fully virtualized guests are given the option via the config file (localtime parameter) of starting with UTC time or local time. What would it take to optionally provide localtime to the paravirtualized guests as well? For a guest that launches assuming localtime as its time basis, then later deriving UTC from it
