That's two different things here:
The issue that Espen is reporting is that the hosts have different
frequency and guests that relay on the tsc as a source clock will
notice that post migration. The is indeed a problem that -tdf does
not solve. -tdf only adds compensation for the RTC clock emulation.

It's -rtc-td-hack. -tdf does pit compensation, but since usually kernel
pit is used it does nothing.

So this "hack" will not solve our problem?

As I also stated, in the past the kvmclock MSRs were not sync upon live migration and it was fixed in 1a03675db146dfc760b3b48b3448075189f142cc ,
better check with the code.


If your guest uses RTC for time keeping it may help. Otherwise it does
nothing.
