From d98d07ca7e0347d712d54a865af323c4aee04bc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Tosatti Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 23:29:04 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: update pvclock area conditionally, on cpu migration As requested by Glauber, do not update kvmclock area on vcpu->pcpu migration, in case the host has stable TSC. This is to reduce cacheline bouncing.
