It seems to me that it could be useful to have a library of common virtual time code (entirely separate from pv_ops), to avoid re-implementing some apparently common requirements, such as: handling TSC frequency changes, stolen time accounting, synthetic programmable clockevent etc.

Well, lets put our clock* implementations next to each other and see how
much common code there is to be factored out.

The Xen time code is pretty lean. There's not much difference in
abstraction between the clocksource/event interface and the hypervisor
interface, so there's just not very much code there.


Jeremy, I saw you sent out the Xen version earlier, thanks. Here's ours for reference (please excuse any formating issues); it's also lean. We'll send out a proper patch later after some more testing:
