Currently in arm64 virtualization environment, there is no mechanism to keep time sync between guest and host. Time in guest will drift compared with host after boot up as they may both use third party time sources to correct their time respectively. The time deviation will be in order of milliseconds but some scenarios ask for higher time precision, like in cloud envirenment, we want all the VMs running in the host aquire the same level accuracy from host clock. Use of kvm ptp clock, which choose the host clock source clock as a reference clock to sync time clock between guest and host has been adopted by x86 which makes the time sync order from milliseconds to nanoseconds. This patch enable kvm ptp on arm64 and we get the similar clock drift as found with x86 with kvm ptp. Test result comparison between with kvm ptp and without it in arm64 are as follows. This test derived from the result of command 'chronyc sources'. we should take more cure of the last sample column which shows the offset between the local clock and the source at the last measurement. no kvm ptp in guest: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 13 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 21 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 29 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 37 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 45 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 53 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 61 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 4 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 12 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 20 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms in host: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 72 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 92 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 112 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 2 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 22 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 43 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 63 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 83 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 103 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 123 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms The dns1.synet.edu.cn is the network reference clock for guest and 120.25.115.20 is the network reference clock for host. we can't get the clock error between guest and host directly, but a roughly estimated value will be in order of hundreds of us to ms. with kvm ptp in guest: chrony has been disabled in host to remove the disturb by network clock.

So we can be sure to say that the clock error between host and guest is in order of ns.
