It would be clearer to just return U64_MAX here (and not fall out)
since this is only case here. Also since this failure only occurs if host
clock is not available, probably should be unlikely.

Since you already have smp_ barriers and rdtsc_ordered is a barrier,
the compiler barriers (READ_ONCE()) shouldn't be necessary.

Why not make do { } while out of this.
do {
...
} while (unlikely(READ_ONCE(tsc_pg->tsc_sequence) != sequence);
return current_tick;
Also don't need to calculate tick value until have good data. As in:
static inline u32 hv_clock_sequence(const struct ms_hyperv_tsc_page *tsc_pg)
{
u32 sequence =
return sequence;
}
static inline u64 hv_read_tsc_page(const struct ms_hyperv_tsc_page *tsc_pg)
{
u64 scale, offset, cur_tsc;
u32 start;
