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