Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] xen/arm: CONFIG_PARAVIRT and stolen ticks accounting
Date: Wed, 8 May 2013 14:50:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1305081446580.18865@kaball.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

Hi all,
this patch series introduces stolen ticks accounting for Xen on ARM.
Stolen ticks are clocksource ticks that have been "stolen" from the cpu,
typically because Linux is running in a virtual machine and the vcpu has
been descheduled.
To account for these ticks we introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and pv_time_ops
so that we can make use of:

kernel/sched/cputime.c:steal_account_process_tick



Stefano Stabellini (4):
      xen: move xen_setup_runstate_info and get_runstate_snapshot to drivers/xen/time.c
      kernel: missing include in cputime.c
      arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops
      xen/arm: account for stolen ticks
