[PATCH 4/7] KVM: lapic: Allow user to override auto-tuning of timer advancement

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

 



Disable auto-tuning the timer advancement if the user specifies an
explicit value via the module param.  Aside from the obvious override
capability, this also allows the KVM admin to set the advancement
beyond the internally-capped max of 5000ns.
