+hardware-based time keeping
+
+Hi all,
+
+I hope you're all doing well.
+
+As i was looking for a solution for a particular problem in Qemu/KVM
+virtualization.
+
+My issue is that I have a virtual machine that runs well in VMware and when
+I migrated that to Qemu/KVM-enabled environment, it didn't work! I figured
+out that under VMware hypervisor, VMware supplies CPU TSC and Performance
+Counters values to the guest VM with the option
+"monitor_control.pseudo_perfctr = TRUE" set the vmx configuration file,
+Ref.: https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf
+
+My question is, is there any similar option in Qemu/KVM-enabled environment
+that I can use to get my VM working the same way as in the VMware
+environment?
+
+I almost tried all options in Qemu with regards to CPU but no avail.
+
+To elaborate more, the VM I'm trying to port under Qemu/KVM environment is
+a an old version of Cisco virtual ASA Firewall. The VM image is actually
+meant to be run under VMware ESXi and with that
+"*monitor_control.pseudo_perfctr
+= TRUE*" option it can also run in Vware Workstation as well. *Yes, this
+option that makes it run under VMware and if it's removed from the
+configuration vmx file then the VM boots half way and crashes the same way
+it crashes under Qemu*. That dictates it's the option in interest that
+needs to be found in Qemu/KVM. I have a copy of this VM in the below link
+in case you would like to try its behavior in under VMware. I downloaded it
+from a youtube previously to test it out:
+
+https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SEXws18hoj2sWGk8iFqqH8RpBZsBNpRH
+
+Once you power on the VM you can telnet to 127.0.0.1 on port 3000 to see
+the boot process. If you remove that option i mentioned to you and boot the
+VM again you'll see the crashing in process.
+
+
+I've converted that vmdk disk images into Qemu disks "qcow2" format and i
+ran them using the below command line on Ubuntu:
+
+/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -L -nographic -device
+e1000-82545em,netdev=net0,mac=50:00:00:6a:00:00 -netdev
+tap,id=net0,ifname=vunl0_33_0,script=no -device
+e1000-82545em,netdev=net1,mac=50:00:00:6a:00:01 -netdev
+tap,id=net1,ifname=vunl0_33_1,script=no -device
+e1000-82545em,netdev=net2,mac=50:00:00:6a:00:02 -netdev
+tap,id=net2,ifname=vunl0_33_2,script=no -device
+e1000-82545em,netdev=net3,mac=50:00:00:6a:00:03 -netdev
+tap,id=net3,ifname=vunl0_33_3,script=no -machine type=pc-1.0  *-cpu
+host,migratable=off,invtsc=on,pmu=on* -m 4096 -hda hda.qcow2 -hdb hdb.qcow2
+-serial telnet:0.0.0.0:3000,server,nowait -monitor
+tcp:127.0.0.1:42379,server,nowait
+-nographic -display none -enable-kvm
+
+
+Once you power on the VM you can telnet to xx.xx.xx.xx 3000 (where the xx
+IP is the Ubuntu machine IP) to see the crashing in process. You may need
+to wait for a while for the status messages to appear in the terminal
+window.
+
+I assume it's a cpu issue because in page 9 of the Vmware pdf reference
+file; it says there are machine instructions become available when this
+option "*monitor_control.pseudo_perfctr = TRUE*" is enabled:
+
+The following machine instructions then become available:
+
+Instruction    Time Value    Returned
+rdpmc           0x10000       Physical host TSC
+rdpmc           0x10001       Elapsed real time in ns
+rdpmc           0x10002       Elapsed apparent time in ns
+
+Therefore, I used many of the Qemu cpu options such as these:
+
+-cpu host,migratable=no,+invtsc (ref: https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.1)
+-cpu host, tsc-frequency=xxxx (ref: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/
+html/qemu-devel/2017-01/msg03555.html)
+ -cpu host,migratable=off,invtsc=true,pmu=true
+
+Not sure if i'm hitting the wrong option!
+
+The log I'm getting when the VM boots up looks like the following crash
+happens at the blue colored log:
