Hi, while we're still waiting for a definitive ACK from Microsoft that the algorithm is good for SMP case (as we can't prevent the code in vdso from migrating between CPUs) I'd like to send v2 with some modifications to keep the discussion going.
Changes since v1: - Document the TSC page reading protocol [Thomas Gleixner]. - Separate the TSC page reading code from read_hv_clock_tsc() and put it to asm/mshyperv.h to use from both hv_init.c and vdso. - Add explicit barriers [Thomas Gleixner] Original description: Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implemented the required support. Simple sysbench test shows the following results: Before: # time sysbench --test=memory --max-requests=500000 run ... real 1m22.618s user 0m50.193s sys 0m32.268s After: # time sysbench --test=memory --max-requests=500000 run ... real 0m47.241s user 0m47.117s sys 0m0.008s Patches 1 and 2 are made on top of K. Y.'s code refactoring which moved tsc page clocksource to arch/x86/hyperv/hv_init.c, this is currently present in Greg's char-misc-next tree.
