add support for Hyper-V reference time counter

2014-01-17T09:22:08Z

Signed-off: Peter Lieven Signed-off: Gleb Natapov Signed-off: Vadim Rozenfeld After some consideration I decided to submit only Hyper-V reference counters support this time. I will submit iTSC support as a separate patch as soon as it is ready. v1 -> v2 1. mark TSC page dirty as suggested by Eric Northup and Gleb 2. disable local irq when calling get_kernel_ns, as it was done by Peter Lieven 3. move check for TSC page enable from second patch to this one. v3 -> v4 Get rid of ref counter offset. v4 -> v5 replace __copy_to_user with kvm_write_guest when updateing iTSC page.

x86, hyperv: Get the local APIC timer frequency from the hypervisor

2013-10-10T18:44:12Z

Hyper-V supports a mechanism for retrieving the local APIC frequency. Use this and bypass the calibration code in the kernel . This would allow us to boot the Linux kernel as a "modern VM" on Hyper-V where many of the legacy devices (such as PIT) are not emulated. I would like to thank Olaf Hering , Jan Beulich and H. Peter Anvin for their help in this effort. In this version of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
