[PATCH v2] hv_utils: Allow implicit ICTIMESYNCFLAG_SYNC

From: pmartincic
Date: Mon Nov 27 2023 - 16:35:29 EST


From: Peter Martincic <pmartincic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hyper-V hosts can omit the _SYNC flag to due a bug on resume from modern
suspend. In such a case, the guest may fail to update its time-of-day to
account for the period when it was suspended, and could proceed with a
significantly wrong time-of-day. In such a case when the guest is
significantly behind, fix it by treating a _SAMPLE the same as if _SYNC
was received so that the guest time-of-day is updated.

This is hidden behind param hv_utils.timesync_implicit.
