191 | data: 64-byte alignment physical address of a memory area which must be | ||
192 | in guest RAM, plus an enable bit in bit 0. This memory is expected to | ||
193 | hold a copy of the following structure: | ||
194 | |||
195 | struct kvm_steal_time { | ||
196 | __u64 steal; | ||
197 | __u32 version; | ||
198 | __u32 flags; | ||
199 | __u32 pad[12]; | ||
200 | } | ||
201 | |||
202 | whose data will be filled in by the hypervisor periodically. Only one | ||
203 | write, or registration, is needed for each VCPU. The interval between | ||
204 | updates of this structure is arbitrary and implementation-dependent. | ||
205 | The hypervisor may update this structure at any time it sees fit until | ||
206 | anything with bit0 == 0 is written to it. Guest is required to make sure | ||
207 | this structure is initialized to zero. | ||
208 | |||
209 | Fields have the following meanings: | ||
210 | |||
211 | version: a sequence counter. In other words, guest has to check | ||
212 | this field before and after grabbing time information and make | ||
213 | sure they are both equal and even. An odd version indicates an | ||
214 | in-progress update. | ||
215 | |||
216 | flags: At this point, always zero. May be used to indicate | ||
217 | changes in this structure in the future. | ||
218 | |||
219 | steal: the amount of time in which this vCPU did not run, in | ||
220 | nanoseconds. Time during which the vcpu is idle, will not be | ||
221 | reported as steal time. | ||
