Subject: [PATCH v3] xen: Fix x86 sched_clock() interface for xen

Commit f94c8d11699759 ("sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable'
sched_clock() interface") broke Xen guest time handling across
migration:

[ 187.249951] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
[ 187.251137] OOM killer disabled.
[ 187.251137] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
[ 187.252299] suspending xenstore...
[ 187.266987] xen:grant_table: Grant tables using version 1 layout
[18446743811.706476] OOM killer enabled.
[18446743811.706478] Restarting tasks ... done.
[18446743811.720505] Setting capacity to 16777216

Fix that by setting xen_sched_clock_offset at resume time to ensure a
monotonic clock value.

This seems to be rather complex.

I believe the mentioned commit just ignored Xen guests resulting in a
"stable" clock where it shouldn't, but maybe I have missed another
aspect of this commit which is to blame. I tried to fix that by
replacing using_native_sched_clock() with a hypervisor specific pvops
function.

Unfortunately this didn't work, maybe due to other uses of
using_native_sched_clock() added by later patches. In the end it was
quite clear that updating the Xen clock offset was the right thing to
do, so I ended up with this patch.

I see that it's broken, but the changelog could do with an explanation WHY
it broke.

Other than that this looks about right.

With v3 of the patch, I see the time jump in one log line happen, but
only when using PVH.

[ 49.486453] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.002 seconds)
done.
[ 49.488743] OOM killer disabled.
[ 49.488764] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001
seconds) done.
[ 49.491117] suspending xenstore...
[2000731.388722] xen:events: Xen HVM callback vector for event delivery
is enabled
[ 49.491750] xen:grant_table: Grant tables using version 1 layout
[ 49.810722] OOM killer enabled.
[ 49.810744] Restarting tasks ... done.
[ 49.856263] Setting capacity to 6291456
[ 50.006002] Setting capacity to 10485760

If I start as PV, it never seems to happen.

Up to you to decide how important this is. :)

FYI this is with v3 on top of the Debian stretch-backports 4.19 kernel,
which I'm starting to use now to reboot things with.

I can add this while committing, I don't think it's worth a whole new patch.

One outstanding question I have is whether anything needs to be added to
the commit message (Thomas had some questions)

He didn't react to my explanation. I'm interpreting that as him being
fine with my explanation, which I believe is not suitable to be added
to the commit message.
