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.
