Subject[KVM timekeeping 10/35] Fix deep C-state TSC desynchronization
Date
When CPUs with unstable TSCs enter deep C-state, TSC may stop
running. This causes us to require resynchronization. Since
we can't tell when this may potentially happen, we assume the
worst by forcing re-compensation for it at every point the VCPU
task is descheduled.
