This patchset adds support for vcpu_is_preempted in arm64, which allows the guest
to check if a vcpu was scheduled out, which is useful to know incase it was
holding a lock. vcpu_is_preempted can be used to improve
performance in locking (see owner_on_cpu usage in mutex_spin_on_owner,
mutex_can_spin_on_owner, rtmutex_spin_on_owner and osq_lock) and scheduling
(see available_idle_cpu which is used in several places in kernel/sched/fair.c
for e.g. in wake_affine to determine which CPU can run soonest):

Please refrain from reposting a series only two days after the initial
one. One week is a minimum, and only if there is enough review
comments to justify a respin (there were no valuable comments so far).

Reposting more often only results in the review process being
exponentially delayed.

Thanks,
