[PATCH 0/2] Avoid using TSC clocksource on AMD APUs affected by erratum 778

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fixes pvclock backwards jumps caused by TSC drifting despite
host believing that TSC is invariant/synchronized.

TSC drift maybe caused by erratum 778 described in
"Revision Guide for AMD Family 15h Models 10h-1Fh Processors,
 Publication # 48931, Issue Date: May 2013, Revision: 3.10"


Igor Mammedov (2):
  x86: AMD: mark TSC unstable on APU family 15h models 10h-1fh
  x86: kvm: do not advertise stable clocksource if CPU has TSC drift BUG
