From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
There was some confusion in kvm_update_guest_time() when software needs
to advance the guest TSC.
In master clock mode, there are two points of time which need to be taken
into account. First there is the master clock reference point, stored in
kvm->arch.master_kernel_ns (and associated host TSC ->master_cycle_now).
Secondly, there is the time *now*, at the point kvm_update_guest_time()
is being called.
With software TSC upscaling, the guest TSC is getting further and further
ahead of the host TSC as time elapses. So at time "now", the guest TSC
should be further ahead of the host, than it was at master_kernel_ns.
The adjustment in kvm_update_guest_time() was not taking that into
account, and was only advancing the guest TSC by the appropriate amount
for master_kernel_ns, *not* the current time.
Fix it to calculate them both correctly.
Since the KVM clock reference point in master_kernel_ns might actually
be *earlier* than the reference point used for the guest TSC
(vcpu->last_tsc_nsec), this might lead to a negative delta. Fix the
compute_guest_tsc() function to cope with negative numbers, which
then means there is no need to force a master clock update when the
guest TSC is written.
