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. The hypervisor allocates memory which is placed at an IPA chosen by user space.
It seems that no allocation happens in the hypervisor code. User space will do it instead?
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@xxxxxxx>
Thanks, zenghui
