Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops
Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 14:35:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369920902-3546-3-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1305301426520.4799@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.

Changes in v3:
- improve commit description and Kconfig help text;
- no need to initialize pv_time_ops;
- add PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

Say Y if you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine on Xen on ARM.
