  • Hyper-V guests use the default native_sched_clock() in
    pv_ops.time.sched_clock on x86. But native_sched_clock() directly uses the
    raw TSC value, which can be discontinuous in a Hyper-V VM.

    Add the generic hv_setup_sched_clock() to set the sched clock function
    appropriately. On x86, this sets pv_ops.time.sched_clock to read the
    Hyper-V reference TSC value that is scaled and adjusted to be continuous.

    Also move the Hyper-V reference TSC initialization much earlier in the boot
    process so no discontinuity is observed when pv_ops.time.sched_clock
    calculates its offset.
