Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] x86/viridian: Add partition time reference counter MSR support
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 18:37:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407173867-10516-4-git-send-email-paul.durrant@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1407173867-10516-1-git-send-email-paul.durrant@citrix.com>

This patch optionally re-instates support for the partition time reference
counter that was previously introduced by commit
e36cd2cdc9674a7a4855d21fb7b3e6e17c4bb33b and reverted by commit
1cd4fab14ce25859efa4a2af13475e6650a5506c. The previous implementation was
non-optional and flawed.

This implementation uses the tsc of vcpu0, which is preserved across
save/restore as part of the architectural state, and then converts that
to a 100ns tick using the domain's tsc_khz.
