Subject: [PATCH 11/17] sysfs: Add paravirt CPU file
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 18:14:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119124449.1149616-12-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119124449.1149616-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
Add paravirt file in /sys/devices/system/cpu.
This offers
- User can quickly check which CPUs are marked as paravirt.
- Userspace algorithm such as sched_ext or with isolcpus could
use the mask and make decision.
- daemon such as irqbalance could use this mask and don't spread
irq's into paravirt CPUs.
For example:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/paravirt
600-719 <<< arch marked these are paravirt.
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/paravirt
<<< No paravirt CPUs at the moment.
