[PATCH 1/2] kernel/sched: introduce vcpu preempted interface

Show all headers | View raw

From: pan xinhui <xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

this supports to fix lock holder preempted issue which run as a guest

two interfaces,
bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu);
unsigned int vcpu_get_yield_count(int cpu);
arch may need implement anyone of them.

some spinneris may also need call need_yield_to(int cpu, unsigned int
old_yield_count) to know if it need stop the spinning.
