Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][RFC] remove PV/x86 warnings (timewentbackwards)

[Atsushi SAKAI <sakaia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Keir, Kevin, and Jan

  Thank you for various suggestions.

One more questions on this.
I think possible solution is
Sync vcpu0 per_cpu(processed_system_time)
to static u64 processed_system_time on PV kernel.

It must be solved on hypervisor layer in this case?

Thanks
Atsushi SAKAI
