Subject: [PATCH v10 3/5] arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 16:21:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446567664-11890-3-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1511031536540.3438@kaball.uk.xensource.com>

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.
