[RFC PATCH 5/8] KVM: x86: Compute kvmclock base without pvclock_gtod_data
From: David Woodhouse
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 19:11:37 EST
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
get_kvmclock_base_ns() needs CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW + offs_boot. Compute
this directly rather than reading offs_boot from the pvclock_gtod_data
private copy. offs_boot only changes at suspend/resume so does not
need to be atomically paired with the raw clock read.
