only incurred if it can possibly be used. I imagine that our canine
cousin will want to use this as well.
There is also a CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION and a CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING (from
s390 and powerpc) Which one to use ?
Are these options for using the kernel as a guest or host? I'd guess
the former.
I'm wondering if we can have a more accurate accounting:
- For the moment we add all system time since the previous entering to the VCPU
to the guest time (and I guess there is some real system time in it ???)
- Perhaps we can sum nanoseconds spent in the VCPU and add it to cpustat when
these ns are greater than 1 ms ? (I'm trying to make something in this way)
I think that it's okay to use the same method as user/system time
accounting. But Ingo the the right man to ask.
