Why native_read_tsc and not ->read_l1_tsc?
[VR]
Is it possible to get pointer to the vcpu instance at this point?
Thanks,
Vadim.
It is easier to trust on the host to check reliability of the TSC: if
it uses TSC clocksource, then the TSCs are stable. So could condition
exposing the TSC ref page when ka->use_master_clock=1, see
kvm_guest_time_update.
And hook into pvclock_gtod_notify.
So in addition to X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC, check
ka->use_master_clock=1
