[PATCH v11 19/20] x86/kvmclock: Skip kvmclock when Secure TSC is available

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

 



For AMD SNP guests with SecureTSC enabled, kvm-clock is being picked up
momentarily instead of selecting more stable TSC clocksource.

[    0.000000] kvm-clock: Using msrs 4b564d01 and 4b564d00
[    0.000001] kvm-clock: using sched offset of 1799357702246960 cycles
[    0.001493] clocksource: kvm-clock: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x1cd42e4dffb, max_idle_ns: 881590591483 ns
[    0.006289] tsc: Detected 1996.249 MHz processor
[    0.305123] clocksource: tsc-early: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x398cadd9d93, max_idle_ns: 881590552906 ns
[    1.045759] clocksource: Switched to clocksource kvm-clock
[    1.141326] clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x398cadd9d93, max_idle_ns: 881590552906 ns
[    1.144634] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc

When Secure TSC is enabled, skip using the kvmclock. The guest kernel will
fallback and use Secure TSC based clocksource.
