[PATCH 1/2] x86/hyperv: Allow guests to enable InvariantTSC

From: Andrea Parri
Date: Thu Oct 03 2019 - 11:52:28 EST


If the hardware supports TSC scaling, Hyper-V will set bit 15 of the
HV_PARTITION_PRIVILEGE_MASK in guest VMs with a compatible Hyper-V
configuration version. Bit 15 corresponds to the
AccessTscInvariantControls privilege. If this privilege bit is set,
guests can access the HvSyntheticInvariantTscControl MSR: guests can
set bit 0 of this synthetic MSR to enable the InvariantTSC feature.
After setting the synthetic MSR, CPUID will enumerate support for
InvariantTSC.
