From: David Woodhouse In https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/1/246 a proposal was made for generic CPUID leaves, of which only 0x40000010 was defined, to contain the TSC and local APIC frequencies. The proposal from VMware was mostly shot down in flames, *but* XNU does unconditionally assume that this leaf contains the frequency information, if it's present on any hypervisor: https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/main/osfmk/i386/cpuid.c So does FreeBSD: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/4a432614f68 So at this point it would be daft for a hypervisor to expose 0x40000010 for any *other* content. KVM might as well adopt it, and fill in the accurate TSC frequency just as it does for the Xen TSC leaf.
