[PATCH 1/1] selftests: KVM: add test to print boottime wallclock

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

 



As inspired by the discussion in [1], the boottime wallclock may drift due
to the fact that the masterclock (or host monotonic clock) and kvmclock are
calculated based on the algorithms in different domains.

This is to introduce a testcase to print the boottime wallclock
periodically to help diagnose the wallclock drift issue in the future.

The idea is to wrmsr the MSR_KVM_WALL_CLOCK_NEW, and read the boottime
wallclock nanoseconds immediately.
