Hyper-V supports Live Migration notification. This is supposed to be used in conjunction with TSC emulation: when a VM is migrated to a host with different TSC frequency for some short period the host emulates the accesses to TSC and sends an interrupt to notify about the event. When the guest is done updating everything it can disable TSC emulation and everything will start working fast again. These notifications weren't required until now as Hyper-V guests are not supposed to use TSC as a clocksource: in Linux the TSC is even marked as unstable on boot. Guests normally use 'tsc page' clocksource and host updates its values on migrations automatically. Things change when with nested virtualization: even when the PV clocksources (kvm-clock or tsc page) are passed through to the nested guests the TSC frequency and frequency changes need to be know.. Hyper-V Top Level Functional Specification (as of v5.0b) wrongly specifies EAX:BIT(12) of CPUID:0x40000009 as the feature identification bit. The right one to check is EAX:BIT(13) of CPUID:0x40000003. I was assured that the fix in on the way.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
