Subject: [PATCH 2/4] arm64/x86: KVM: Introduce steal time cap
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2020 20:46:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200619184629.58653-3-drjones@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200619184629.58653-1-drjones@redhat.com>
arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe
support for steal time. However this is unnecessary and complicates
userspace (userspace may prefer delaying vcpu creation until after
feature probing). Since probing steal time only requires a KVM fd,
we introduce a cap that can be checked. Additionally, when probing
steal time we should check delayacct_on, because even though
CONFIG_KVM selects TASK_DELAY_ACCT, it's possible for the host
kernel to have delay accounting disabled with the 'nodelayacct'
command line option. x86 already determines support for steal time
by checking delayacct_on and can already probe steal time support
with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), but we add the cap there
too for consistency.
