[PATCH v3 7/9] KVM-GST: KVM Steal time accounting

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Wed Jun 29 2011 - 11:39:09 EST


This patch accounts steal time time in kernel/sched.
I kept it from last proposal, because I still see advantages
in it: Doing it here will give us easier access from scheduler
variables such as the cpu rq. The next patch shows an example of
usage for it.

Since functions like account_idle_time() can be called from
multiple places, not only account_process_tick(), steal time
grabbing is repeated in each account function separatedely.
