Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

This is how Xen guests do steal time accounting. The hypervisor records the amount of time spent in each of running/runnable/blocked/offline states. In the Xen accounting, a vCPU is still in state RUNSTATE_running while in Xen for a hypercall or I/O trap, etc. Only if Xen explicitly schedules does the state become RUNSTATE_blocked. In KVM this means that even when the vCPU exits the kvm_run loop, the state remains RUNSTATE_running. The VMM can explicitly set the vCPU to RUNSTATE_blocked by using the KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_CURRENT attribute, and can also use KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADJUST to retrospectively add a given amount of time to the blocked state and subtract it from the running state. The state_entry_time corresponds to get_kvmclock_ns() at the time the vCPU entered the current state, and the total times of all four states should always add up to state_entry_time.
