Staging: hyperv: add clocksource driver
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch is a clocksource implementation suitable for guests hosted on
HyperV.  Time keeping in Linux guests hosted on HyperV is unstable. This
clocksource driver fixes the problem. This driver uses the hyperv
detection code integrated into the kernel.
