Xen kernels compute jiffies from Xen system time, hence computed from TSC. If the time went backwards messages are occasional you can ignore them, or even disable them. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
