Subject: [PATCH v7 4/6] arm64: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 12:20:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372418447-24066-4-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1306271614260.4782@kaball.uk.xensource.com>
Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM64.
Necessary duplication of paravirt.h and paravirt.c with 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.
