[PATCH v7 1/2] dt-bindings: vcpu_stall_detector: Add qemu,vcpu-stall-detector compatible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The VCPU stall detection mechanism allows to configure the expiration
duration and the internal counter clock frequency measured in Hz.
Add these properties in the schema.

While this is a memory mapped virtual device, it is expected to be loaded
when the DT contains the compatible: "qemu,vcpu-stall-detector" node.
In a protected VM we trust the generated DT nodes and we don't rely on
the host to present the hardware peripherals.
