Transfer timer state to the VZ guest context (CP0_GTOffset & guest CP0_Count) when entering guest mode, enabling direct guest access to it, and transfer back to soft timer when saving guest register state. This usually allows guest code to directly read CP0_Count (via MFC0 and RDHWR) and read/write CP0_Compare, without trapping to the hypervisor for it to emulate the guest timer. Writing to CP0_Count or CP0_Cause.DC is much less common and still triggers a hypervisor GPSI exception, in which case the timer state is transferred back to an hrtimer before emulating the write. We are careful to prevent small amounts of drift from building up due to undeterministic time intervals between reading of the ktime and reading of CP0_Count. Some drift is expected however, since the system clocksource may use a different timer to the local CP0_Count timer used by VZ. This is permitted to prevent guest CP0_Count from appearing to go backwards.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
