[PATCH] KVM: x86: do not go through vcpu in __get_kvmclock_ns

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Fri Nov 11 2016 - 05:12:30 EST


Going through the first VCPU is wrong if you follow a KVM_SET_CLOCK with
a KVM_GET_CLOCK immediately after, without letting the VCPU run and
call kvm_guest_time_update.

This is easily fixed however, because kvm_get_time_and_clockread provides
the information we want.
