From 7f828d5fff7d24752e1ecf6bebb6617a81f97b93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dexuan Cui decui@microsoft.com Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2024 23:16:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: hyper-v: Use lapic timer in a TDX VM without paravisor
In a TDX VM without paravisor, currently the default timer is the Hyper-V timer, which depends on the slow VM Reference Counter MSR: the Hyper-V TSC page is not enabled in such a VM because the VM uses Invariant TSC as a better clocksource and it's challenging to mark the Hyper-V TSC page shared in very early boot.
Lower the rating of the Hyper-V timer so the local APIC timer becomes the the default timer in such a VM, and print a warning in case Invariant TSC is unavailable in such a VM. This change should cause no perceivable performance difference.
