The vmclock device addresses the problem of live migration with
precision clocks. The tolerances of a hardware counter (e.g. TSC) are
typically around ±50PPM. A guest will use NTP/PTP/PPS to discipline that
counter against an external source of 'real' time, and track the precise
frequency of the counter as it changes with environmental conditions.
When a guest is live migrated, anything it knows about the frequency of
the underlying counter becomes invalid. It may move from a host where
the counter running at -50PPM of its nominal frequency, to a host where
it runs at +50PPM. There will also be a step change in the value of the
counter, as the correctness of its absolute value at migration is
limited by the accuracy of the source and destination host's time
synchronization.
The device exposes a shared memory region to guests, which can be mapped
all the way to userspace. In the first phase, this merely advertises a
'disruption_marker', which indicates that the guest should throw away any
NTP synchronization it thinks it has, and start again.
Because the region can be exposed all the way to userspace, applications
can still use time from a fast vDSO 'system call', and check the
disruption marker to be sure that their timestamp is indeed truthful.
The structure also allows for the precise time, as known by the host, to
be exposed directly to guests so that they don't have to wait for NTP to
resync from scratch.
The values and fields are based on the nascent virtio-rtc specification,
and the intent is that a version (hopefully precisely this version) of
this structure will be included as an optional part of that spec. In the
meantime, a simple ACPI device along the lines of VMGENID is perfectly
sufficient and is compatible with what's being shipped in certain
commercial hypervisors.
Linux guest support was merged into the 6.13-rc1 kernel:

Right now QEMU is importing arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h
because it includes definitions for kvmclock and for KVM CPUID
bits. However, other definitions for KVM hypercall values and return
codes are included in include/uapi/linux/kvm_para.h and they will be
used by SEV-SNP.
To ensure that it is possible to include both <linux/kvm_para.h> and
"standard-headers/asm-x86/kvm_para.h" without conflicts, provide
linux/kvm_para.h as a portable header too, and forward linux-headers/
files to those in include/standard-headers. Note that <linux/kvm_para.h>
will include architecture-specific definitions as well, but
"standard-headers/linux/kvm_para.h" will not because it can be used in
architecture-independent files.
This could easily be extended to other architectures, but right now
they do not need any symbol in their specific kvm_para.h files.
