Commit112665286d("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context tracking exit guest context before enabling irqs") moved guest_exit() into the interrupt protected area to avoid wrong context warning (or worse). The problem is that tick-based time accounting has not yet been updated at this point (because it depends on the timer interrupt firing), so the guest time gets incorrectly accounted to system time. To fix the problem, follow the x86 fix in commit1604571401("Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling"), and allow host IRQs to run before accounting the guest exit time. In the case vtime accounting is enabled, this is not required because TB is used directly for accounting. Before this patch, with CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y in the host and a guest running a kernel compile, the 'guest' fields of /proc/stat are stuck at zero. With the patch they can be observed increasing roughly as expected.

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.
