[PATCH v2 23/38] x86/kvmclock: Refactor handling of PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT during kvmclock_init()
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Feb 26 2025 - 21:28:26 EST
Clean up the setting of PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT during kvmclock init to
make it somewhat obvious that pvclock_read_flags() must be called *after*
pvclock_set_flags().
Note, in theory, a different PV clock could have set PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT
in the supported flags, i.e. reading flags only if
KVM_FEATURE_CLOCKSOURCE_STABLE_BIT is set could very, very theoretically
result in a change in behavior. In practice, the kernel only supports a
single PV clock.
