[PATCH 0/5] KVM: selftests: Fix clocksource requirements in tests

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

It was discovered that 'hyperv_clock' fails miserably when the system is
using an unsupported (by KVM) clocksource, e.g. 'kvm-clock'. The root cause
of the failure is that 'hyperv_clock' doesn't actually check which clocksource
is currently in use. Other tests (kvm_clock_test, vmx_nested_tsc_scaling_test)
have the required check but each test does it on its own.

Generalize clocksource checking infrastructure, make all three clocksource
dependent tests run with 'tsc' and 'hyperv_clocksource_tsc_page', and skip
gracefully when run in an unsupported configuration.

The last patch of the series is a loosely related minor nitpick for KVM
code itself.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (5):
  KVM: selftests: Generalize check_clocksource() from kvm_clock_test
  KVM: selftests: Use generic sys_clocksource_is_tsc() in
    vmx_nested_tsc_scaling_test
  KVM: selftests: Run clocksource dependent tests with
    hyperv_clocksource_tsc_page too
  KVM: selftests: Make hyperv_clock require TSC based system clocksource
  KVM: x86: Make gtod_is_based_on_tsc() return 'bool'
