    vtime: Consolidate system/idle context detection · a7e1a9e3
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    Move the code that finds out to which context we account the
    cputime into generic layer.
    
    Archs that consider the whole time spent in the idle task as idle
    time (ia64, powerpc) can rely on the generic vtime_account()
    and implement vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle(),
    letting the generic code to decide when to call which API.
    
    Archs that have their own meaning of idle time, such as s390
    that only considers the time spent in CPU low power mode as idle
    time, can just override vtime_account().
