Hi,
I am trying to get the TSC_OFFSET of my guest Qemu machine,
Some of the pre-requisites mentioned involve having a Stable TSC (i.e. TSC should not move backawards)
So when I enable the write_tsc events in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.../kvm_write_tsc_offset I get the following trace:
qemu-system-x86-6668 [003] d... 24541634690432: kvm_write_tsc_offset: vcpu=0 prev=18446721743031245116 next=18446719532074865476

Here, the prev value is more than the next value, I think this means that my TSC is growing backwards.

Is the direction of TSC a configurable option ?
How to ensure the TSC grows forwards.
Also what does Synchronized TSC mean, how to know if the TSC is synchronized and how to fix it if it not synchronized.
