Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 2/4] arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and pv_time_ops
Date: Mon, 6 May 2013 15:51:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1367851878-21629-2-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1305061532310.4756@kaball.uk.xensource.com>
Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT on ARM.
The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock.
No runtime pvops patching yet.
This allows us to make us of steal_account_process_tick for stolen ticks
accounting.

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