Implement the service call for configuring a shared structure between a VCPU and the hypervisor in which the hypervisor can write the time stolen from the VCPU's execution time by other tasks on the host. User space allocates memory which is placed at an IPA also chosen by user space. The hypervisor then updates the shared structure using kvm_put_guest() to ensure single copy atomicity of the 64-bit value reporting the stolen time in nanoseconds. Whenever stolen time is enabled by the guest, the stolen time counter is reset. The stolen time itself is retrieved from the sched_info structure maintained by the Linux scheduler code. We enable SCHEDSTATS when selecting KVM Kconfig to ensure this value is meaningful. Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
