From 0fd7e098db30e302d27920487f0afec33be8982a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liang Li Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 11:51:03 +0800 Subject: kvmclock: add a new function to update env->tsc. The commit 317b0a6d8 fixed an issue which caused by the outdated env->tsc value, but the fix lead to 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()' called twice during live migration. The 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()' takes about 130us for a VM which has 4 vcpus, it's a bit expensive. Synchronize the whole CPU context just for updating env->tsc is too wasting, this patch use a new function to update the env->tsc. Comparing to 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()', it only takes about 20us.
