[PATCH] sched: generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING for X86 and ARM

[Dmitry Antipov]

Generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING  between X86 and
ARM, move "noirqtime=" option to common debugging code.
For a bit of backward compatibility, X86-specific option
"tsc=noirqtime" is preserved, but issues a warning.

Please keep them out-of-line, its not a fast path and it avoids having
to expose the state variable.

You forgot to explain what you need the tri-state for.

Other than that no real objections.. I guess.

OK

The comment above should be a sufficient explanation, isn't it?

It's a tri-state just because it "merges" two variables: internal state (enabled/disabled)
and the value passed by "noirqtime" option (turn it on, default/turn it off). It can be
enabled only if it was not turned off explicitly, i.e. -1 => 1 transition is possible,
but 0 -> 1 is not. The same rule applies to a situation when an unstable clock is detected.

Please use the customary (multi-line) comment style:

specified in Documentation/CodingStyle.

should be turned into __read_mostly I guess.

[PATCH] sched: generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING for X86 and ARM

[Dmitry Antipov]

Generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING  between X86 and
ARM, move "noirqtime=" option to common debugging code.
For a bit of backward compatibility, X86-specific option
"tsc=noirqtime" is preserved, but issues a warning.

[PATCH] sched: generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING for X86 and ARM

[Dmitry Antipov]

Generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING  between X86 and
ARM, move "noirqtime=" option to common debugging code.
For a bit of backward compatibility, X86-specific option
"tsc=noirqtime" is preserved, but issues a warning.

One more nit-pick. We need corresponding change in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to  deprecate tsc=irqtime and add
this new param.

[PATCH] sched: generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING for X86 and ARM

[Dmitry Antipov]

Generalize CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING  between X86 and
ARM, move "noirqtime=" option to common debugging code.
For a bit of backward compatibility, "tsc=noirqtime"
is preserved, but issues a warning.

Why are you placing this here?  sched_clock is available from the point
that it's registered, which should be before the first sched_clock()
call.

Even though it's not bad here, please get out of the habbit of throwing
unnecessary parens into the mix.  It can make stuff more difficult to
read and therefore confirm correctness.  (I've spent many a time
rewriting if() statements because of paren overuse.)

This could have been written:

	depends on X86 || (ARM && HAVE_SCHED_CLOCK)

However, ARM will always have HAVE_SCHED_CLOCK after the next merge window,
so this can become a much simpler:

	depends on X86 || ARM

Apart from these two points, the rest of the patch looks fine to me but
the ultimate decision about its acceptability is up to other people.

This is just because I'm thinking about:

if (read_sched_clock == jiffy_sched_clock_read)
         setup_sched_clock(jiffy_sched_clock_read, 32, HZ);
else if (!no_sched_irq_time)
	enable_sched_clock_irqtime();

I suppose that "fine granularity task irq time accounting"
makes no sense if sched_clock() granularity is poor.

Let me put it a different way - is there a reason not to do this in
setup_sched_clock() so that it becomes available as soon as sched_clock()
has been initialized by a platform?

Maybe we can hand the depend-things to every ARCH, say let ARCH provides
HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. Thus we can make IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
denpend on HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

Do we need a single file for this?
You know this feature is sched related, why not just move it
to kernel/sched/core.c?
