This fixes the occasional panic I was seeing on booting a slower system, and the constant panic booting a fast system. It has been tested UP and SMP on an IBM summit system, and an IntelliStation. The 'time went backwards' messages are no longer seen. Great! I'm cooking up a time patch to check in over the next few days -- it should handle the one remaining problem I see with your patch, that although 'guest time' will be monotonic on each individual cpu, they will diverge over time because percpu_ticks does not update local time w.r.t. a shared timebase. I think solving that necessarily means some bigger changes to how time is handled in Xen, and the interface to guests, and I'm currently merging those changes into the xenlinux tree (the Xen side is done and I can post an interim patch if that's interesting for anyone). -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
