PTP_KVM is used for high precision time sync between host and guests. It relies on transferring the wall clock and counter value from the host to the guest using a KVM-specific hypercall.
- ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_KVM_PTP_FUNC_ID: 0x86000001
This hypercall uses the SMC32/HVC32 calling convention:
- ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_KVM_PTP_FUNC_ID
Function ID: (uint32) 0x86000001 Arguments: (uint32) KVM_PTP_VIRT_COUNTER(0) KVM_PTP_PHYS_COUNTER(1) Return Values: (int32) (uint32) (uint32) (uint32) (uint32) NOT_SUPPORTED(-1) on error, or Upper 32 bits of wall clock time (r0) Lower 32 bits of wall clock time (r1) Upper 32 bits of counter (r2) Lower 32 bits of counter (r3) Endianness: No Restrictions.
