As discussed before, I don't think it makes sense to design a new high-
precision virtual clock which only gets it right *most* of the time. We
absolutely need to address the issue of live migration.

When live migration occurs, the guest's time precision suffers in two
ways.

First, even when migrating to a supposedly identical host the precise
rate of the underlying counter (TSC, arch counter, etc.) can change
within the tolerances (e.g. ±50PPM) of the hardware. Unlike the natural
changes that NTP normally manages to track, this is a *step* change,
potentially from -50PPM to +50PPM from one host to the next.

Second, the accuracy of the counter as preserved across migration is
limited by the accuracy of each host's NTP synchronization. So there is
also a step change in the value of the counter itself.

At the moment of migration, the guest's timekeeping should be
considered invalid. Any previous cross-timestamps are meaningless, and
blindly using the previously-known relationship between the counter and
real time can lead to problems such as corruption in distributed
databases, fines for mis-timestamped transactions, and other general
unhappiness.

We obviously can't get a new timestamp from the virtio_rtc device every
time an application wants to know the time reliably. We don't even want
*system* calls for that, which is why we have it in a vDSO.

We can take the same approach to warning the guest about clock
disruption due to live migration. A shared memory region from the
virtual clock device even be mapped all the way to userspace, for those
applications which need precise and *reliable* time to check a
'disruption' marker in it, and do whatever is appropriate (e.g. abort
transactions and wait for time to resync) when it happens.

We can do better than just letting the guest know about disruption, of
course. We can put the actual counter→realtime relationship into the
memory region too. As well as being able to provide a PTP driver with
this, the applications which care about *reliable* timestamps can mmap
the page directly and use it, vDSO-style, to have accurate timestamps
even from the first cycle after migration.

When disruption is signalled, the guest needs to throw away any
*additional* refinement that it's done with NTP/PTP/PPS/etc. and revert
to knowing nothing more than what the hypervisor advertises here.

Here's a first attempt at defining such a memory structure. For now
I've done it as a "vmclock" ACPI device based loosely on vmgenid, but I
think it makes most sense for this to be part of the virtio_rtc spec.
Ultimately it doesn't matter *how* the guest finds the memory region.

Very preliminary QEMU hacks at 
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/vmclock
(I still need to do the KVM side helper for actually filling in the
host clock information, converted to the *guest* TSC)

This is the guest side. H aving heckled your assumption that we can use
the virt counter on Arm, I concede I'm doing the same thing for now.
The structure itself is at the end, or see
https://git.infradead.org/?p=users/dwmw2/linux.git;a=blob;f=include/uapi/linux/vmclock.h;hb=vmclock

Subject: [PATCH] ptp: Add vDSO-style vmclock support

The vmclock "device" provides a shared memory region with precision clock
information. By using shared memory, it is safe across Live Migration.
