[PATCH 3.18 124/151] KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC writes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Mar 04 2015 - 02:23:19 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7f187922ddf6b67f2999a76dcb71663097b75497 upstream.

When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be
updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative
tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update.

Once "if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)" is simplified to
"if (ka->use_master_clock)", the corresponding "if (!ka->use_master_clock)"
becomes redundant, so remove the do_request boolean and collapse
everything into a single condition.
