Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM. The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock, so no runtime pvops patching needed. This allows us to make use of steal_account_process_tick for stolen ticks accounting.

Changes in v3: - improve commit description and Kconfig help text; - no need to initialize pv_time_ops; - add PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING. --- arch/arm/Kconfig | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm/include/asm/paravirt.h | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm/kernel/Makefile | 1 + arch/arm/kernel/paravirt.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 66 insertions(+) create mode 100644 arch/arm/include/asm/paravirt.h create mode 100644 arch/arm/kernel/paravirt.c diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig b/arch/arm/Kconfig index f1ed110..60be104 100644 --- a/arch/arm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig @@ -1823,6 +1823,25 @@ config SWIOTLB config IOMMU_HELPER def_bool SWIOTLB +config PARAVIRT + bool "Enable paravirtualization code" + help + This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run + under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly + over full virtualization. + +config PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING + bool "Paravirtual steal time accounting" + select PARAVIRT + default n + help + Select this option to enable fine granularity task steal time + accounting.
