[patch 19/33] xen: Account for time stolen by Xen

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Tue May 22 2007 - 11:33:34 EST


This patch accounts for the time Xen steals from our VCPUs. Stolen
time is time where a vcpu is runnable and could be running, but all
available physical CPUs are being used for something else.

This accounting gets run on each timer interrupt, just as a way to get
it run relatively often, and when interesting things are going on.
Stolen time is not really used by much in the kernel; it is reported
in /proc/stats, and that's about it.
