Hello, Even after asking again, I never did hear from the customer why it matters if the name changes. The case is being closed, and I am assuming that the information you gave (that I passed onto the customer) was sufficient to answer the customer's question. Thank you Greg, Vitaly, and Peter for helping answer this question. エアー・アルマ Professional Direct Delivery Manager Email: v-aleyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Microsoft Azure Professional Direct Services 日本 +81 1-2051-4100（無料） 日本 +81 3-6743-9670（有料） 電子メール: pdazure@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 22, 2018 10:51 PM To: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alma Eyre (Sonata Software North America) <v-aleyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>; Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Will the name of hyperv_clocksource_tsc_page or hyperv_clocksource pages change?

Alma, what external tool depends on the specific name of a kernel clock? Why would it matter what the name of it is? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
