From e6e6685accfa81f509fadfc9624bc7c3862d75c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:28:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] KVM guest: Steal time accounting This patch accounts steal time time in account_process_tick. If one or more tick is considered stolen in the current accounting cycle, user/system accounting is skipped. Idle is fine, since the hypervisor does not report steal time if the guest is halted. Accounting steal time from the core scheduler give us the advantage of direct acess to the runqueue data. In a later opportunity, it can be used to tweak cpu power and make the scheduler aware of the time it lost.
