From 02c2433b3aa6b57313c261c9811bbbe49528101c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:32:57 +0000 Subject: arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on 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.
