[patch 2/3] KVM: x86: add KVM_HC_CLOCK_OFFSET hypercall

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

 



Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock
and the TSC value used to calculate that clock read.

Used to implement clock synchronization between
host and guest.

+6. KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING
+------------------------
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to synchronize host and guest clocks.
+Usage:
+
+a0: guest physical address where host copies
+"struct kvm_clock_offset" structure.
+
+a1: clock_type, ATM only KVM_CLOCK_PAIRING_WALLCLOCK (0)
+is supported (hosts CLOCK_REALTIME clock).
+
+		struct kvm_clock_offset {
+			__s64 sec;
+			__s64 nsec;
+			__u64 tsc;
+			__u32 flags;
+			__u32 pad[9];
+		};
+
+       Where:
+               * sec: seconds from clock_type clock.
+               * nsec: nanoseconds from clock_type clock.
+               * tsc: TSC value used to calculate sec/nsec pair
+                 (this hypercall only works when host uses TSC clocksource).
+               * flags: flags, unused (0) at the moment.
+
+Returns KVM_EOPNOTSUPP if the host does not use TSC clocksource,
+or if clock type is different than KVM_CLOCK_PAIRING_WALLCLOCK.
