[PATCH v4 05/17] clocksource/hyperv: use MSR-based access if running as root

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

 



When Linux runs as the root partition, the setup required for TSC page
is different. Luckily Linux also has access to the MSR based
clocksource. We can just disable the TSC page clocksource if Linux is
the root partition.
