      cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting · abf917cd
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
      able to account the cputime without using the tick.
      
      Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
      hooking into kernel/user boundaries.
      
      However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
      low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
      have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
      for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
      outside idle.
      
      This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
      accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.
      
      There are some upsides of doing this:
      
      - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
      if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
      tickless mode).
      
      - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
      (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
      and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
      of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.
      
      And one downside:
      
      - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
      accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

      cputime: Move default nsecs_to_cputime() to jiffies based cputime file · ae8dda5c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      If the architecture doesn't provide an implementation of
      nsecs_to_cputime(), the cputime accounting core uses a
      default one that converts the nanoseconds to jiffies. However
      this only makes sense if we use the jiffies based cputime.
      
      For now it doesn't matter much because this API is only
      called on code that uses jiffies based cputime accounting.
      
      But the code may evolve and this API may be used more
      broadly in the future. Keeping this default implementation
      around is very error prone as it may introduce a bug and
      hide it on architectures that don't override this API.
      
      Fix this by moving this definition to the jiffies based
      cputime headers as it is the only place where it belongs to.

      cputime: Consolidate cputime adjustment code · d37f761d
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      task_cputime_adjusted() and thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
      essentially share the same code. They just don't use the same
      source:
      
      * The first function uses the cputime in the task struct and the
      previous adjusted snapshot that ensures monotonicity.
      
      * The second adds the cputime of all tasks in the group and the
      previous adjusted snapshot of the whole group from the signal
      structure.
      
      Just consolidate the common code that does the adjustment. These
      functions just need to fetch the values from the appropriate
      source.

      cputime: Rename thread_group_times to thread_group_cputime_adjusted · e80d0a1a
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We have thread_group_cputime() and thread_group_times(). The naming
      doesn't provide enough information about the difference between
      these two APIs.
      
      To lower the confusion, rename thread_group_times() to
      thread_group_cputime_adjusted(). This name better suggests that
      it's a version of thread_group_cputime() that does some stabilization
      on the raw cputime values. ie here: scale on top of CFS runtime
      stats and bound lower value for monotonicity.

      vtime: Remove the underscore prefix invasion · fd25b4c2
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Prepending irq-unsafe vtime APIs with underscores was actually
      a bad idea as the result is a big mess in the API namespace that
      is even waiting to be further extended. Also these helpers
      are always called from irq safe callers except kvm. Just
      provide a vtime_account_system_irqsafe() for this specific
      case so that we can remove the underscore prefix on other
      vtime functions.

      cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime · 3e1df4f5
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
      CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
      
      In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
      the second case it only handles irq time accounting.
      
      So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
      this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.
      
      To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
      in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
      calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.
