This test proves that there is an inherent KVM/PV clock drift away from the guest TSC when KVM decides to update the PV time information structure due to a KVM_REQ_MASTERCLOCK_UPDATE. This drift is exascerbated when a guest is using TSC scaling and running at a different frequency to the host TSC [1]. It also proves that KVM_[GS]ET_CLOCK_GUEST API is working to mitigate the drift from TSC to within ±1ns.
The test simply records the PVTI (PV time information) at time of guest creation, after KVM has updated it's mapped PVTI structure and once the correction has taken place. A singular point in time is then recorded via the guest TSC and is used to calculate the a PV clock value using each of the 3 PVTI structures. As seen below a drift of ~3500ns is observed if no correction has taken place after KVM has updated the PVTI via master clock update. However, after the correction a delta of at most 1ns can be seen. * selftests: kvm: pvclock_test * scaling tsc from 2999999KHz to 1499999KHz * before=5038374946 uncorrected=5038371437 corrected=5038374945 * delta_uncorrected=3509 delta_corrected=1 Clocksource check code has been borrowed from [2].
