[PATCH 0/2] Avoid using TSC clocksource on AMD APUs affected by erratum 778

From: Igor Mammedov
Date: Thu Jul 31 2014 - 05:48:56 EST


Fixes pvclock backwards jumps caused by TSC drifting despite
host believing that TSC is invariant/synchronized.

TSC drift maybe caused by erratum 778 described in
"Revision Guide for AMD Family 15h Models 10h-1Fh Processors,
Publication # 48931, Issue Date: May 2013, Revision: 3.10"


Igor Mammedov (2):
x86: AMD: mark TSC unstable on APU family 15h models 10h-1fh
x86: kvm: do not advertise stable clocksource if CPU has TSC drift BUG
