It is not a perfect attempt; no trap and emulate is yet done for TSC in cases in which it can not be perfectly virtualized. In particular, on platforms with unstable / buggy TSCs, it is not possible to even get a perfectly synchronized TSC. TSC virtualization should be much improved and many bugs with suspend, cpufreq as well as general synchronization errors will be eliminated. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
