From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Zachary Amsden Subject: [PATCH: kvm 2/5] Kill the confusing tsc_ref_khz and ref_freq variables. Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:47:17 -1000 Message-ID: <1253839640-12695-3-git-send-email-zamsden@redhat.com> References: <20090924151049.GB14102@amt.cnet> <1253839640-12695-1-git-send-email-zamsden@redhat.com> <1253839640-12695-2-git-send-email-zamsden@redhat.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Zachary Amsden , Avi Kivity , Marcelo Tosatti To: kvm@vger.kernel.org Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1253839640-12695-2-git-send-email-zamsden@redhat.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: kvm.vger.kernel.org They are globals, not clearly protected by any ordering or locking, and vulnerable to various startup races. Instead, for variable TSC machines, register the cpufreq notifier and get the TSC frequency directly from the cpufreq machinery. Not only is it always right, it is also perfectly accurate, as no error prone measurement is required. On such machines, also detect the frequency when bringing a new CPU online; it isn't clear what frequency it will start with, and it may not correspond to the reference.
