Clamping to last returned timestamp value would be fine here. Time would go moderately haywire for a while (lurch forwards and then stop for a while), but wouldn't go backwards and should recover reasonably within the timescale of the thermal event itself. I don't see an issue with just implementing this clamping if it is needed. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
