Zachary Amsden ca84d1a24c KVM: x86: Add clock sync request to hardware enable ... If there are active VCPUs which are marked as belonging to a particular hardware CPU, request a clock sync for them when enabling hardware; the TSC could be desynchronized on a newly arriving CPU, and we need to recompute guests system time relative to boot after a suspend event. This covers both cases. Note that it is acceptable to take the spinlock, as either no other tasks will be running and no locks held (BSP after resume), or other tasks will be guaranteed to drop the lock relatively quickly (AP on CPU_STARTING). Noting we now get clock synchronization requests for VCPUs which are starting up (or restarting), it is tempting to attempt to remove the arch/x86/kvm/x86.c CPU hot-notifiers at this time, however it is not correct to do so; they are required for systems with non-constant TSC as the frequency may not be known immediately after the processor has started until the cpufreq driver has had a chance to run and query the chipset. Updated: implement better locking semantics for hardware_enable Removed the hack of dropping and retaking the lock by adding the semantic that we always hold kvm_lock when hardware_enable is called. The one place that doesn't need to worry about it is resume, as resuming a frozen CPU, the spinlock won't be taken.
