Palacios Public Git Repository

To checkout Palacios execute

  git clone http://v3vee.org/palacios/palacios.web/palacios.git
This will give you the master branch. You probably want the devel branch or one of the release branches. To switch to the devel branch, simply execute
  cd palacios
  git checkout --track -b devel origin/devel

+/* Overview 
+ *
+ * Time handling in VMMs is challenging, and Palacios uses the highest 
+ * resolution, lowest overhead timer on modern CPUs that it can - the 
+ * processor timestamp counter (TSC). Note that on somewhat old processors
+ * this can be problematic; in particular, older AMD processors did not 
+ * have a constant rate timestamp counter in the face of power management
+ * events. However, the latest Intel and AMD CPUs all do (should...) have a 
+ * constant rate TSC, and Palacios relies on this fact.
+ * 
+ * Basically, Palacios keeps track of three quantities as it runs to manage
+ * the passage of time:
+ * (1) The host timestamp counter - read directly from HW and never written
+ * (2) A monotonic guest timestamp counter used to measure the progression of
+ *     time in the guest. This is computed using an offsets from (1) above.
+ * (3) The actual guest timestamp counter (which can be written by
+ *     writing to the guest TSC MSR - MSR 0x10) from the monotonic guest TSC.
+ *     This is also computed as an offset from (2) above when the TSC and
+ *     this offset is updated when the TSC MSR is written.
+ *
+ * The value used to offset the guest TSC from the host TSC is the *sum* of all
+ * of these offsets (2 and 3) above
+ * 
+ * Because all other devices are slaved off of the passage of time in the guest,
+ * it is (2) above that drives the firing of other timers in the guest, 
+ * including timer devices such as the Programmable Interrupt Timer (PIT).
+ *
+ * Future additions:
+ * (1) Add support for temporarily skewing guest time off of where it should
+ *     be to support slack simulation of guests. The idea is that simulators
+ *     set this skew to be the difference between how much time passed for a 
+ *     simulated feature and a real implementation of that feature, making 
+ *     pass at a different rate from real time on this core. The VMM will then
+ *     attempt to move this skew back towards 0 subject to resolution/accuracy
+ *     constraints from various system timers.
+ *   
+ *     The main effort in doing this will be to get accuracy/resolution 
+ *     information from each local timer and to use this to bound how much skew
+ *     is removed on each exit.
