[PATCH xen 2/2] xen: update system time immediately when VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info

From: Dongli Zhang
Date: Tue Oct 12 2021 - 03:25:45 EST


The guest may access the pv vcpu_time_info immediately after
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info. This is to borrow the idea of
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area, where the
force_update_vcpu_system_time() is called immediately when the new memory
area is registered.

Otherwise, we may observe clock drift at the VM side if the VM accesses
the clocksource immediately after VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info().
