[PATCH] KVM: x86: fix cpu hang due to tsc adjustment when kvmclock in use

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

 



From: Zhuang Yanying <ann.zhuangyanying@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the TSC frequency of the VM is not equal to the host, hot-plugging vCPU
will cause the VM to be hang. The time of hang depends on the current TSC
value of the VM.

System time calculation of kvmclock is based on (tsc_timestamp, system_time),
and adjusted by delta ( = rdtsc_ordered() - src->tsc_timestamp).The tsc of the
hotplugged cpu is initialized to 0, which will trigger check_tsc_sync_target()
to adjust the tsc of the hotplugged cpu according to another online cpu, that
is, rdtsc_ordered() will change abruptly to a large value. Then system time
based on kvmclock is modified at the same time.

So after modifying the tsc offset, update vcpu->hv_clock immediately.
