Subject: [HELPER PATCH 2] helper: disable arch handling if paravirt file being written
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:51:00 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119062100.1112520-18-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119062100.1112520-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
Arch specific code can update the mask based on the steal time. For
debugging it is desired to overwrite the arch logic. Do that with this
helper script.
