When guest time is reset with KVM_SET_CLOCK(0), it is possible for 'hv_clock->system_time' to become a small negative number. This happens because in KVM_SET_CLOCK handling we set 'kvm->arch.kvmclock_offset' based on get_kvmclock_ns(kvm) but when KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE is handled, kvm_guest_time_update() does (masterclock in use case): hv_clock.system_time = ka->master_kernel_ns + v->kvm->arch.kvmclock_offset; And 'master_kernel_ns' represents the last time when masterclock got updated, it can precede KVM_SET_CLOCK() call. Normally, this is not a problem, the difference is very small, e.g. I'm observing hv_clock.system_time = -70 ns. The issue comes from the fact that 'hv_clock.system_time' is stored as unsigned and 'system_time / 100' in compute_tsc_page_parameters() becomes a very big number. Use 'master_kernel_ns' instead of get_kvmclock_ns() when masterclock is in use and get_kvmclock_base_ns() when it's not to prevent 'system_time' from going negative.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
