[PATCH v2] KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC writes

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

 



When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be
updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative
tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update.
