[PATCH 0/5] cputime: Moar cleanups / enhancements v3

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Hi,

Changes since v2:

- Fix missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL (thanks Wu Fenguang for the report)
- Drop that *_irqsafe naming, use vtime_account_system() as irq safe
and __vtime_account_system() for the raw arch implementation
- Drop local_irq_disable() on s390 kvm guest switch

If you want to test, it is pullable from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git

  vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header file
  vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafe
  kvm: Directly account vtime to system on guest switch
  cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooks

[PATCH 1/5] vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header file

[Frederic Weisbecker]

These APIs are scattered around and are going to expand a bit.
Let's create a dedicated header file for sanity.

[PATCH 2/5] vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafe

[Frederic Weisbecker]

vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with
vtime_account() which is irq safe.

Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where
irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime.

So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".

vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.

[PATCH 3/5] kvm: Directly account vtime to system on guest switch

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Switching to or from guest context is done on ioctl context.
So by the time we call kvm_guest_enter() or kvm_guest_exit()
we know we are not running the idle task.

As a result, we can directly account the cputime using
vtime_account_system().

There are two good reasons to do this:

* We avoid some useless checks on guest switch. It optimizes
a bit this fast path.

* In the case of CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, calling vtime_account()
checks for irq time to account. This is pointless since we know
we are not in an irq on guest switch. This is wasting cpu cycles
for no good reason. vtime_account_system() OTOH is a no-op in
this config option.

* We can remove the irq disable/enable around kvm guest switch in s390.

A further optimization may consist in introducing a vtime_account_guest()
that directly calls account_guest_time().

[PATCH 4/5] cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooks

[Frederic Weisbecker]

With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account()
is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the
context: if we are interrupting the idle task we
account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account
to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time,
softirq time, ...

However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry
and softirq entry:

* Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case
we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle.

* The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if
it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call
in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd
is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context
switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time
already flushed from the hardirq entry.

In the other cases we always account to system/irq time:

* On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time.
* On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time.

To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account()
and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and
only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call
vtime_account_system().

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly
maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want
to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting
as well in the future.

[PATCH 5/5] cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime

[Frederic Weisbecker]

vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
the second case it only handles irq time accounting.

So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.

[GIT PULL] cputime: Cleanups and optimizations

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Ingo,

Please pull the latest cputime cleanups that can be found at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git tags/cputime-cleanups-for-mingo

for you to fetch changes up to 3e1df4f506836e6bea1ab61cf88c75c8b1840643:

  cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime (2012-10-29 21:31:32 +0100)

It is based on top of tip:sched/core of today.

Tested on x86 and powerpc. Built-tested only on ia64 and s390.

Thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Cputime cleanups and optimizations:

* Gather vtime headers that were a bit scattered around

* Separate irqtime and vtime namespaces that were
colliding, resulting in useless calls to irqtime accounting.

* Slightly optimize irq and guest vtime accounting.

[PATCH 5/5] cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime

[Frederic Weisbecker]

vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
the second case it only handles irq time accounting.

So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.
