Unless explicitly told to do so (by passing 'clocksource=tsc' and 'tsc=stable:socket', and then jumping through some hoops concerning potential CPU hotplug) Xen will never use TSC as its clocksource. Hence, by default, a Xen guest will not see PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT set in either the primary or secondary pvclock memory areas. This has led to bugs in some guest kernels which only become evident if PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT *is* set in the pvclocks. Hence, to support such guests, give the VMM a new Xen HVM config flag to tell KVM to forcibly clear the bit in the Xen pvclocks.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
