Glauber Costa c9aaa8957f KVM: Steal time implementation
To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.

This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.

Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time

This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

[avi, yongjie: export delayacct_on, to avoid build failures in some configs]

Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run other
operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
This option alone does not add any kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.

---help---
Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent
processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
need to select one or more of the processor modules below.
This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
a character device node named /dev/kvm.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm.
If unsure, say N.
config KVM_INTEL
tristate "KVM for Intel processors support"
depends on KVM
---help---
Provides support for KVM on Intel processors equipped with the VT
extensions.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm-intel.
config KVM_AMD
tristate "KVM for AMD processors support"
depends on KVM
---help---
Provides support for KVM on AMD processors equipped with the AMD-V
(SVM) extensions.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm-amd.
config KVM_MMU_AUDIT
bool "Audit KVM MMU"
depends on KVM && TRACEPOINTS
---help---
This option adds a R/W kVM module parameter 'mmu_audit', which allows
audit KVM MMU at runtime.
# OK, it's a little counter-intuitive to do this, but it puts it neatly under
# the virtualization menu.
