[PATCH v6 04/16] clocksource/hyperv: use MSR-based access if running as root

From: Wei Liu
Date: Wed Feb 03 2021 - 10:16:24 EST


When Linux runs as the root partition, the setup required for TSC page
is different. Luckily Linux also has access to the MSR based
clocksource. We can just disable the TSC page clocksource if Linux is
the root partition.
