Subject: [RFC 09/11] powerpc: kvm: handle time base on secondary hwthread
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:29:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413487800-7162-10-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1413487800-7162-1-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.com>
(This is a place holder patch.)
We need to store the time base for host on secondary hwthread.
Later when switching back, we need to reprogram it with elapse
time.
