printk's in cpu_init() might access per-cpu pv_clock before it's registered. Which might lead to an incorrect last_value value or big jumps in it depending on current contents of kvm's hv_clock. Also ftrace by default uses local clock for time-stamping its records, which might cause access to not yet registered per-cpu kvmclock during cpu_init() execution: function_trace_call -> trace_function -> trace_buffer_lock_reserve -> ring_buffer_lock_reserve -> rb_reserve_next_event -> rb_time_stamp -> trace_clock_local -> sched_clock -> paravirt_sched_clock -> kvm_clock_read Fix provides a simplified version of kvm_setup_secondary_clock(), that could be safely used before cpu_init() and turns off tracing for its underlying calls to prevent premature access to kvmclock during its registration. So that any following usage of sched_clock() would yield correct value.
