    arm64: Retrieve stolen time as paravirtualized guest · e0685fa2

    Enable paravirtualization features when running under a hypervisor
    supporting the PV_TIME_ST hypercall.
    
    For each (v)CPU, we ask the hypervisor for the location of a shared
    page which the hypervisor will use to report stolen time to us. We set
    pv_time_ops to the stolen time function which simply reads the stolen
    value from the shared page for a VCPU. We guarantee single-copy
    atomicity using READ_ONCE which means we can also read the stolen
    time for another VCPU than the currently running one while it is
    potentially being updated by the hypervisor.
