KVM: VMX: initialize TSC offset relative to vm creation time
VMX initializes the TSC offset for each vcpu at different times, and also reinitializes it for vcpus other than 0 on APIC SIPI message. This bug causes the TSC's to appear unsynchronized in the guest, even if the host is good. Older Linux kernels don't handle the situation very well, so gettimeofday is likely to go backwards in time: http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg02955.html http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2025534&group_id=180599&atid=893831 Fix it by initializating the offset of each vcpu relative to vm creation time, and moving it from vmx_vcpu_reset to vmx_vcpu_setup, out of the APIC MP init path.
