Hyper-V guests use the default native_sched_clock() in
pv_ops.time.sched_clock on x86. But native_sched_clock() directly uses the
raw TSC value, which can be discontinuous in a Hyper-V VM.
Add the generic hv_setup_sched_clock() to set the sched clock function
appropriately. On x86, this sets pv_ops.time.sched_clock to read the
Hyper-V reference TSC value that is scaled and adjusted to be continuous.
Also move the Hyper-V reference TSC initialization much earlier in the boot
process so no discontinuity is observed when pv_ops.time.sched_clock
calculates its offset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
