kvmclock_offset is negative, it should be timespec64_add intead of
timespec64_sub.
kvm->arch.kvmclock_offset = -ktime_get_boot_ns()

No, timespec64_sub is correct (and kvmclock.flat in kvm-unit-tests tests
it). The guest computes CLOCK_REALTIME as pvclock_wall_clock + kvmclock
(see pvclock_read_wallclock in arch/x86/kvm/pvclock.c).
So:
host_boot_time = getboottime64()
pvclock_wall_clock = guest_boot_time
kvmclock_offset = host_boot_time - guest_boot_time
The latter is important: kvmclock_offset is negative because
guest_boot_time > host_boot_time. Then:
pvclock_wall_clock =
= guest_boot_time
= host_boot_time - (host_boot_time - guest_boot_time)
= getboottime64() - kvmclock_offset
Thanks,
Paolo
