[PATCH v8 5/7] kvm: x86: protect masterclock with a seqcount

Oliver Upton oupton at google.com
Thu Sep 16 11:15:36 PDT 2021


From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini at redhat.com>

Protect the reference point for kvmclock with a seqcount, so that
kvmclock updates for all vCPUs can proceed in parallel.  Xen runstate
updates will also run in parallel and not bounce the kvmclock cacheline.

nr_vcpus_matched_tsc is updated outside pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy
though, so a spinlock must be kept for that one.
