When the option is set to a value different than `auto` the probing is bypassed and the selected implementation is used (as long as it's available). The `xen` and `efi` options require being booted as a Xen guest (with Xen guest supported built-in) or from UEFI firmware respectively. Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné --- Changes since v6: - Clarify documentation regarding repeated using of the wallclock command line option. Changes since v5: - Do EFI run-time services checking after command line parsing. Changes since v3: - Note xen option is only available if Xen guest support it built. - Fix typo. --- docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc | 21 ++++++++++++++++ xen/arch/x86/time.c | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc b/docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc index 959cf45b55d9..2a9b3b9b8975 100644 --- a/docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc +++ b/docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc @@ -2816,6 +2816,27 @@ vwfi to `native` reduces irq latency significantly.
