drivers/hv: correct tsc page sequence invalid value
Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification v3/4 says that TSC page sequence value = -1(0xFFFFFFFF) is used to indicate that TSC page no longer reliable source of reference timer. Unfortunately, we found that Windows Hyper-V guest side implementation uses sequence value = 0 to indicate that Tsc page no longer valid. This is clearly visible inside Windows 2012R2 ntoskrnl.exe HvlGetReferenceTime() function dissassembly: HvlGetReferenceTime proc near xchg ax, ax loc_1401C3132: mov rax, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage mov r9d, [rax] test r9d, r9d jz short loc_1401C3176 rdtsc mov rcx, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage shl rdx, 20h or rdx, rax mov rax, [rcx+8] mov rcx, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage mov r8, [rcx+10h] mul rdx mov rax, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage add rdx, r8 mov ecx, [rax] cmp ecx, r9d jnz short loc_1401C3132 jmp short loc_1401C3184 loc_1401C3176: mov ecx, 40000020h rdmsr shl rdx, 20h or rdx, rax loc_1401C3184: mov rax, rdx retn HvlGetReferenceTime endp This patch aligns Tsc page invalid sequence value with Windows Hyper-V guest implementation which is more compatible with both Hyper-V hypervisor and KVM hypervisor.
