CurrentClockSource - file /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

This is a relatively simple parser that reads the /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource file. As well as reporting the contents of the file in its data property, it also provides three properties that are true if the clock source is set to that value:

  • is_kvm - the clock source file contains ‘kvm-clock’
  • is_tsc - the clock source file contains ‘tsc’
  • is_vmi_timer - the clock source file contains ‘vmi-timer’

Examples

>>> cs = shared[CurrentClockSource]
>>> cs.data
'tsc'
>>> cs.is_tsc
True
