| 6 | * These structs MUST NOT be changed. |
| 7 | * They are the ABI between hypervisor and guest OS. |
| 8 | * Both Xen and KVM are using this. |
| 9 | * |
| 10 | * pvclock_vcpu_time_info holds the system time and the tsc timestamp |
| 11 | * of the last update. So the guest can use the tsc delta to get a |
| 12 | * more precise system time. There is one per virtual cpu. |
| 13 | * |
| 14 | * pvclock_wall_clock references the point in time when the system |
| 15 | * time was zero (usually boot time), thus the guest calculates the |
| 16 | * current wall clock by adding the system time. |
| 17 | * |
| 18 | * Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making |
| 19 | * it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again |
| 20 | * (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the |
| 21 | * time values it got are consistent by checking the version before |
| 22 | * and after reading them. |
