Did you consider nested virtualization? L1 hypervisor may have a different tsc scaling and L2 guest again may have a different tsc scale ratio. Christoph On 2015/12/06 22:14, Haozhong Zhang wrote: > I have tested this patchset on both Intel and AMD systems. > > For the test on AMD systems, I mad

I have tested this patchset on both Intel and AMD systems. For the test on AMD systems, I made two rounds of tests. The first round only applied bug-fix patches 1-6. The second round applied the entire series. In both rounds, I used the test process at http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen

2015-12-06 Thread Haozhong Zhang
This patchset adds support for VMX TSC scaling feature which is available on Intel Skylake Server CPU. The specification of VMX TSC scaling can be found at http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/timestamp-counter-scaling-virtualization-white-paper.html VMX TSC scaling allows guest TSC w
