- * Sometimes, even reliable TSCs go backwards. This happens on
- * platforms that reset TSC during suspend or hibernate actions, but
- * maintain synchronization. We must compensate. Fortunately, we can
- * detect that condition here, which happens early in CPU bringup,
- * before any KVM threads can be running. Unfortunately, we can't
- * bring the TSCs fully up to date with real time, as we aren't yet far
- * enough into CPU bringup that we know how much real time has actually
- * elapsed; our helper function, get_kernel_ns() will be using boot
- * variables that haven't been updated yet.
- *
- * So we simply find the maximum observed TSC above, then record the
- * adjustment to TSC in each VCPU. When the VCPU later gets loaded,
- * the adjustment will be applied. Note that we accumulate
- * adjustments, in case multiple suspend cycles happen before some VCPU
- * gets a chance to run again. In the event that no KVM threads get a
- * chance to run, we will miss the entire elapsed period, as we'll have
- * reset last_host_tsc, so VCPUs will not have the TSC adjusted and may
- * loose cycle time. This isn't too big a deal, since the loss will be
- * uniform across all VCPUs (not to mention the scenario is extremely
- * unlikely). It is possible that a second hibernate recovery happens
- * much faster than a first, causing the observed TSC here to be
- * smaller; this would require additional padding adjustment, which is
- * why we set last_host_tsc to the local tsc observed here.
- *
- * N.B. - this code below runs only on platforms with reliable TSC,
- * as that is the only way backwards_tsc is set above. Also note
- * that this runs for ALL vcpus, which is not a bug; all VCPUs should
- * have the same delta_cyc adjustment applied if backwards_tsc
- * is detected. Note further, this adjustment is only done once,
- * as we reset last_host_tsc on all VCPUs to stop this from being
- * called multiple times (one for each physical CPU bringup).
- *
- * Platforms with unreliable TSCs don't have to deal with this, they
- * will be compensated by the logic in vcpu_load, which sets the TSC to
- * catchup mode. This will catchup all VCPUs to real time, but cannot
- * guarantee that they stay in perfect synchronization.
