      powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accounting · c6622f63
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
      powerpc kernels.  Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
      task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
      the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
      the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode.  We
      also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
      accurately.  This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  If
      that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.
      
      To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
      utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
      on other machines on
      
      * each entry to the kernel from usermode
      * each exit to usermode
      * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
        context in kernel mode
      * context switches.
      
      On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
      read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
      context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
      the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time).  Unfortunately,
      since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
      accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
      steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
      between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
      loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.
      
      This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
      generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
      i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.
      
      This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
      userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
      userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
      times(), etc.  Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
      timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
      second) when reported to userspace.  Some precision is therefore lost
      but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
      accumulation is at full precision.

      [PATCH] ppc64: Convert NUMA to sparsemem (3) · 45fb6cea
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Convert to sparsemem and remove all the discontigmem code in the
      process. This has a few advantages:
      
      - The old numa_memory_lookup_table can go away
      - All the arch specific discontigmem magic can go away
      
      We also remove the triple pass of memory properties and instead create a
      list of per node extents that we iterate through. A final cleanup would
      be to change our lmb code to store extents per node, then we can reuse
      that information in the numa code.
