    x86: Increase precision of x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() · 3565184e
    David Vrabel 提交于
    All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
    wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.
    
    read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
    for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
    x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
    This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
    second.
    
    Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
    parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
    guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
    can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.
