I only did a straightforward port of the xend parts, without much testing. You could add tracing to the hvm_param hypercall in xen/arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c, and see whether the timer mode is being set for your HVM guest that way.

Thanks Keir... but in trying to test this, I find that timer_mode seems to be displayed in sxp debug output in xend.log for xen-unstable, but I don't see sxp output for timer_mode in xend.log for xen-3.1-testing (cset 15564). Does timer_mode get properly set and passed down to xen in xen-3.1-testing simply by adding a (e.g.) "timer_mode=3" line in the config file? If so, is there another way I can verify that?

Done.

Any chance the sequence of timer/tick fixes that you, Dave Winchell, Ben Guthro, Haitao Shan, and Eddie Dong were discussing/developing over the last two months could get into 3.1.3? Clocks that gain time can cause some pretty nasty difficult-to-diagnose real customer problems.

Folks,

A new release candidate for 3.2.0 has just been checked into the xen-unstable tree. It's available from staging and will be in the main tree when it has passed internal regression tests.

Meanwhile, in preparation for 3.1.3, please let me know if there are any further patches from xen-unstable that should be backported into the 3.1 branch. You can pull the xen-3.1-testing.hg repository to see what has already been backported.

Thanks, Keir
