When KVM_REQ_MASTERCLOCK_UPDATE request is issued (e.g. after migration) we need to make sure no vCPU sees stale values in PV clock structures and thus all vCPUs are kicked with KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE. Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is global and kvm_guest_time_update() only updates in on vCPU0 but this is not entirely correct: nothing blocks some other vCPU from entering the guest before we finish the update on CPU0 and it can read stale values from the page. Invalidate TSC page in kvm_gen_update_masterclock() to switch all vCPUs to using MSR based clocksource (HV_X64_MSR_TIME_REF_COUNT).

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.
