x86: Use xen_vcpuop_clockevent, xen_clocksource and xen wallclock.
Use xen_vcpuop_clockevent instead of hpet and APIC timers as main clockevent device on all vcpus, use the xen wallclock time as wallclock instead of rtc and use xen_clocksource as clocksource. The pv clock algorithm needs to work correctly for the xen_clocksource and xen wallclock to be usable, only modern Xen versions offer a reliable pv clock in HVM guests (XENFEAT_hvm_safe_pvclock). Using the hpet as clocksource means a VMEXIT every time we read/write to the hpet mmio addresses, pvclock give us a better rating without VMEXITs. Same goes for the xen wallclock and xen_vcpuop_clockevent Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Don Dutile <ddutile@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
