Currently, the reserved size for a tsc page is 4K, which is enough for communicating with hypervisor. However, in the case where we want to export the tsc page to userspace (e.g. for vDSO to read the clocksource), the tsc page should be at least PAGE_SIZE, otherwise, when PAGE_SIZE is larger than 4K, extra kernel data will be mapped into userspace, which means leaking kernel information. Therefore reserve PAGE_SIZE space for tsc_pg as a preparation for the vDSO support of ARM64 in the future. Also, while at it, replace all reference to tsc_pg with hv_get_tsc_page() since it should be the only interface to access tsc page.

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.
