From 424c32f1aa3112632a657d45698c8e7666668f78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 12:17:39 -0400 Subject: x86, paravirt: Enable pvclock flags in vcpu_time_info structure This patch removes one padding byte and transform it into a flags field. New versions of guests using pvclock will query these flags upon each read. Flags, however, will only be interpreted when the guest decides to. It uses the pvclock_valid_flags function to signal that a specific set of flags should be taken into consideration. Which flags are valid are usually devised via HV negotiation.
