Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:59:32 +0000 From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com> To: <xen-devel@...ts.xensource.com> CC: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, <linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org>, <konrad.wilk@...cle.com>, <marc.zyngier@....com>, <will.deacon@....com>, <Stefano.Stabellini@...citrix.com>, <Ian.Campbell@...rix.com>, <linux@....linux.org.uk>, <olof@...om.net>, <arnd@...db.de>, <catalin.marinas@....com>, Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com>, <nico@...aro.org>, <cov@...eaurora.org>, <Catalin.Marinas@....com> Subject: [PATCH v12 3/4] arm64: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM64. Necessary duplication of paravirt.h and paravirt.c with ARM. The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock, so no runtime pvops patching needed. This allows us to make use of steal_account_process_tick for stolen ticks accounting.
