Hi all,
this patch series introduces stolen ticks accounting for Xen on ARM.
Stolen ticks are clocksource ticks that have been "stolen" from the cpu,
typically because Linux is running in a virtual machine and the vcpu has
been descheduled.
To account for these ticks we introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and pv_time_ops
so that we can make use of:
kernel/sched/cputime.c:steal_account_process_tick
Stefano Stabellini (4):
xen: move xen_setup_runstate_info and get_runstate_snapshot to
drivers/xen/time.c
arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and pv_time_ops
kernel: missing include in cputime.c
xen/arm: account for stolen ticks
