From: David Woodhouse <[email protected]> The remaining users of pvclock_gtod_data only need to know whether the host clocksource is TSC-based. Replace all vclock_mode checks with a simple kvm_host_has_tsc_clocksource boolean, updated by the pvclock_gtod_notify callback.
This is inherently racy (as it always was — kvm_track_tsc_matching never held the gtod seqcount), relying on eventual consistency: the notifier fires on every timekeeping update and will correct any transient inconsistency within one tick.
