Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 1/3] cpuidle: export cpuidle_devices for KVM C-state policy enforcement
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 16:37:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914143702.915401-2-aharivel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914143702.915401-1-aharivel@redhat.com>
Export the per-CPU cpuidle_devices symbol so that KVM can access
cpuidle device and driver state to temporarily constrain idle state
selection when enforcing per-VM C-state policies.
This is needed by the upcoming KVM_CAP_CSTATE_POLICY capability,
which disables deep C-states on the current pCPU before a vCPU
blocks in kvm_vcpu_block().
