From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 10:56:33 +0000 (+0000) Subject: arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops X-Git-Tag: next-20130607~31^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4c9252c614143045e047f81e701afcaea3ce86ae;p=karo-tx-linux.git 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.
