Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] dt-bindings: vcpu_stall_detector: Add qemu,vcpu-stall-detector compatible
Date: Mon,  9 May 2022 09:11:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220509091103.2220604-2-sebastianene@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220509091103.2220604-1-sebastianene@google.com>

The VCPU stall detection mechanism allows to configure the expiration
duration and the internal counter clock frequency measured in Hz.
Add these properties in the schema.

While this is a memory mapped virtual device, it is expected to be loaded
when the DT contains the compatible: "qemu,vcpu-stall-detector" node.
In a protected VM we trust the generated DT nodes and we don't rely on
the host to present the hardware peripherals.
