+ * Time as measured by the TSC may go backwards when resetting the base
+ * tsc_timestamp. The reason for this is that the TSC resolution is
+ * higher than the resolution of the other clock scales. Thus, many
+ * possible measurments of the TSC correspond to one measurement of any
+ * other clock, and so a spread of values is possible. This is not a
+ * problem for the computation of the nanosecond clock; with TSC rates
+ * around 1GHZ, there can only be a few cycles which correspond to one
+ * nanosecond value, and any path through this code will inevitably
+ * take longer than that. However, with the kernel_ns value itself,
+ * the precision may be much lower, down to HZ granularity. If the
+ * first sampling of TSC against kernel_ns ends in the low part of the
+ * range, and the second in the high end of the range, we can get:
+ *
+ * (TSC - offset_low) * S + kns_old > (TSC - offset_high) * S + kns_new
+ *
+ * As the sampling errors potentially range in the thousands of cycles,
+ * it is possible such a time value has already been observed by the
+ * guest. To protect against this, we must compute the system time as
+ * observed by the guest and ensure the new system time is greater.
