From 05aa026a62d0fe0b4664a01d1537984b12567e7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Breeds Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:56:25 +1000 Subject: Clocksource is continuous regardless of the state of the host's TSC. Currently lguest will spend a lot of of time waking up the host, as it cannot go tickless (if the [host] TSC has been marked unstable). On my laptop I was getting ~40% of wakeups from lguest. With this patch applied, my laptop is much happier!
