I don't see it mentioned in 4.0-testing anywhere. Yeah I think it's in 4.1 only. > Is there a fallback if HVMOP_get_time doesn't exist? Switch on vtsc (might be default) and just use RDTSC? Might be good enough. I'm not sure that computing system time yourself from fields in shared info works well for HVM guests. HVMOP_get_time I think had been in XenServer patch queue a while and has just been pulled across to upstream. -- Keir > James > _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
