[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC v2 0/4] xen/arm: CONFIG_PARAVIRT and stolen ticks accounting

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
