search for: has_steal_clock

Hello, This patchset introduces steal time accounting support for the VMware guest. The idea and implementation of guest steal time support is similar to KVM ones and it is based on steal clock. The steal clock is a per CPU structure in a shared memory between hypervisor and guest, initialized by each CPU through hypercall. Steal clock is got updated by the hypervisor and read by the guest.
