In order to support pvclock vdso on xen we need to setup the time info page for vcpu 0 and register the page with Xen using the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area hypercall. This hypercall will also forcefully update the pvti which will set some of the necessary flags for vdso. Afterwards we check if it supports the PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT flag which is mandatory for having vdso/vsyscall support. And if so, it will set the cpu 0 pvti that will be later on used when mapping the vdso image. The xen headers are also updated to include the new hypercall for registering the secondary vcpu_time_info struct.

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.
