Shrikanth Hegde 9a8e740ee9 virt: Introduce steal governor driver ... Introduce a new driver in virt named steal_governor. This driver will compute the steal time and drive the policy decisions regarding the preferred CPU state. Note that this driver is strictly intended for actual guests. Hence block it on Xen dom0. More details can be found in Documentation/driver-api/steal-governor.rst. A new kconfig called STEAL_GOVERNOR is introduced in subsequent patches, which enables this driver. This driver will select CONFIG_PREFERRED_CPU. This makes configs driven by user preference/configuration. When the driver is disabled, preferred CPUs remain the same as active CPUs. The file layout of the driver is kept simple for now. The code is in drivers/virt/steal_governor.c, and the configs are part of drivers/virt/Kconfig. The main structure of the steal governor contains: - work, delay: Deferred periodic work function variables. - steal, time: Used to calculate deltas during periodic work. - interval_ms, high_threshold, low_threshold: Tuning knobs for the steal governor. While there, add MAINTAINERS entry for this new driver.
