      timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled · bc7a34b8
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
      performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
      the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
      timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
      cache line to figure out that it is disabled.
      
      We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
      bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
      update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
      when we select a timer base.
      
      The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
      CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
      line.
      
      With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
      visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
      migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
      prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
      migration stays disabled no matter what.
