[PATCH 07/18] Fix deep C-state TSC desynchronization

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

 



When CPUs with unstable TSCs enter deep C-state, TSC may stop
running.  This causes us to require resynchronization.  Since
we can't tell when this may potentially happen, we assume the
worst by forcing re-compensation for it at every point the VCPU
task is descheduled.
