      [PATCH] idle cputime accounting · 79741dd3
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
      currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
      that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
      time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
      is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
      The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
      the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
      process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
      idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
      instead of just testing for the idle process.
      To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
      primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
      points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.
      
      In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
      This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
      be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
      every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
      time.
      
      This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
      distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
      support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

      [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting · 457533a7
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
      global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
      to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
      been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
      to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
      instead of the scaled user time.
      To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
      account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
      account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

      [S390] Fix alignment of initial kernel stack. · 0778dc3a
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      We need an alignment of 16384 bytes for the initial kernel stack if
      the kernel is configured for 16384 bytes stacks but the linker script
      currently guarantees only an alignment of 8192 bytes.
      
      So fix this and simply use THREAD_SIZE as alignment value which will
      always do the right thing.

      ..
      
      The s390 implementation of sched_clock uses the store clock instruction and
      subtracts jiffies_timer_cc.
      jiffies_timer_cc is a local variable in arch/s390/kernel/time.c and only used
      for sched_clock and monotonic clock. For historical reasons there is an offset
      on that value. With todays code this offset is unnecessary. By removing that
      offset we can get a sched_clock which returns the nanoseconds after time_init.
      This improves CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME.
      
      Since sched_clock is the only user, I have also renamed jiffies_timer_cc to
      sched_clock_base_cc. In addition, the local variable init_timer_cc is redundant
      and can be romved as well.

      [S390] fix system call parameter functions. · 59da2139
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      syscall_get_nr() currently returns a valid result only if the call
      chain of the traced process includes do_syscall_trace_enter(). But
      collect_syscall() can be called for any sleeping task, the result of
      syscall_get_nr() in general is completely bogus.
      
      To make syscall_get_nr() work for any sleeping task the traps field
      in pt_regs is replace with svcnr - the system call number the process
      is executing. If svcnr == 0 the process is not on a system call path.
      
      The syscall_get_arguments and syscall_set_arguments use regs->gprs[2]
      for the first system call parameter. This is incorrect since gprs[2]
      may have been overwritten with the system call number if the call
      chain includes do_syscall_trace_enter. Use regs->orig_gprs2 instead.

      [S390] Fix sysdev class file creation. · da5aae70
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes
      instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very
      good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of
      parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files.
      In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and
      therefore accesses to random memory regions happened.
      Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.

      Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday.  The details of the timeval
      conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same
      results.
      
      Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs
      in .c files are fowned upon.  I'll kill the externs in various other files
      in a sparate patch.

      compat: move cp_compat_stat to common code · f7a5000f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so
      cp_compat_stat should be, too.
      
      Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
      high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the
      SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.
      
      This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
      a common one based on the x86-64 one.
