From 96366a8d3f17ee964802378d4a1f51fda86f070e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Breeds Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:23:29 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Update wait_state_cycles in the VPA The hypervisor can look at the value in the wait_state_cycles field of the VPA for an estimate of how busy dedicated processors are. Currently, as the kernel never touches this field, we appear to be 100% busy. This records the duration the kernel is in powersave and passes that to the HV to provide a reasonable indication of utilisation.
