wli ported smptimers_X3 (Ingo's smptimers A0 + my embellishments for 2.5)
to 2.5.38-mm2 and I am including that patch below. Ingo, would you
push this or any version of smptimers to Linus ?
The core smptimers implementation from Ingo remains as is. The things
that I changed over time are -
1. run_local_timers() is now run from scheduler_tick(). This avoids
having to modify arch-dependent code (local timer interrupt handlers).
run_local_timers() just schedules a per-CPU tasklet to do the
actual timer processing, in that sense it is similar to old TIMER_BH.
2. With global clis gone, locking in timer processing is simpler.
It serializes against BHs using global_bh_lock and old NET_BH
code (?) using net_bh_lock (see deliver_old_ones()). There may
be more to it that I missed completely.
3. The TIMER_BH has been removed completely. If locking fails
(can't get global_bh_lock or net_bh_lock), we
just reschedule the per-CPU tasklet. This is analogus to what
TIMER_BH did earlier.
4. Removal of TIMER_BH breaks sparc32 gettimeofday implementation
that depends on it. I don't have any clue how to fix this. Zaitcev,
is this something that you maintain ?
5. I added akpm's check for timer not changing in mod_timer().
Lastly, here are some profile comparisons from a webserver benchmark -
2.5.34-vanilla
--------------
4055 add_timer 16.6189
14876 mod_timer 59.0317
1507 del_timer 17.9405
2567 del_timer_sync 17.3446
1828 timer_bh 2.5819
2.5.34-smptimers_X2
-------------------
877 add_timer 3.0034
10656 mod_timer 28.3404
1034 del_timer 8.6167
1698 del_timer_sync 11.4730
55 __run_timers 0.2022
26 run_timer_tasklet 0.1444
This is without akpm's mod_timer() change.
Thanks
