I have just started looking at the code for Xen so please bear with me.
A domU Linux kernel running with independent_wallclock=1 seems to sync its time with dom0 after every "xm unpause" (obviously preceded by an "xm pause").
I don't see where the xtime variable is being updated after an "xm unpause", i.e., domain_unpause_by_systemcontroller(). Right after the unpause, it seems to me that the xtime in the domU
should be what it were just prior to the pause.
Yes, a guest with independent wallclock should never sync with the wallclock time record provided by Xen, even after an unpause (the unpause is not explicitly visible to the guest anyway).
