Sean Christopherson ca28aa6391 KVM: x86/xen: Use guest's copy of pvclock when starting timer
Use the guest's copy of its pvclock when starting a Xen timer, as KVM's
reference copy may not be up-to-date, i.e. may yield a false positive of
sorts.  In the unlikely scenario that the guest is starting a Xen timer
and has used a Xen pvclock in the past, but has since but turned it "off",
then vcpu->arch.hv_clock may be stale, as KVM's reference copy is updated
if and only if at least one pvclock is enabled.

Furthermore, vcpu->arch.hv_clock is currently used by three different
pvclocks: kvmclock, Xen, and Xen compat.  While it's extremely unlikely a
guest would ever enable multiple pvclocks, effectively sharing KVM's
reference clock could yield very weird behavior.  Using the guest's active
Xen pvclock instead of KVM's reference will allow dropping KVM's
reference copy.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
