Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] x86/kvm: Virtual suspend time injection support
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2021 18:06:39 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210426090644.2218834-1-hikalium@chromium.org> (raw)
Hi,
This patch series adds virtual suspend time injection support to KVM.
Before this change, if the host goes into suspended state while the
guest is running, the guest will experience a time jump after the host's
resume. This can confuse some services in the guest since they can't
detect if the system went into suspend or not by comparing
CLOCK_BOOTTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
To solve this problem, we wanted to add a way to adjust the guest clocks
without actually suspending the guests. However, there was no way to
modify a gap between CLOCK_BOOTTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC without actually
suspending the guests. Therefore, this series introduce a new struct
called kvm_host_suspend_time to share the suspend time between host and
guest and a mechanism to inject a suspend time to the guest while
keeping
monotonicity of the clocks.
Could you take a look and let me know how we can improve the patches if
they are doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Hikaru Nishida
