.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 PTP_KVM support for arm/arm64 ============================= PTP_KVM is used for high precision time sync between host and guests. It relies on transferring the wall clock and counter value from the host to the guest using a KVM-specific hypercall. ``ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_KVM_PTP_FUNC_ID`` ---------------------------------------- Retrieve current time information for the specific counter.
