Subject: vread in kvm_clock

Hi,

I'm currently working with the kvm clocksource and I'm wondering if we 
could implement the vread function for this clock source when we are 
running on a host with constant_tsc.
If I understand correctly the hv_clock structure is per_cpu because of 
the eventual frequency changes, but in the case of constant_tsc (and 
after validation that the TSC is synchronized across all the cores) I 
think we could have a working vread function.

In case of migration, could we have a fallback in case we detect we end 
up on a CPU without constant_tsc ?

Any advice/explanation would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks,

Julien
