cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting

2013-01-27T18:23:27Z

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: Librarize per nsecs resolution cputime definitions

2013-01-27T18:23:16Z

The full dynticks cputime accounting that we'll soon introduce will rely on sched_clock(). And its clock can have a per nanosecond granularity. To prepare for this, we need to have a cputime_t implementation that has this precision. ia64 virtual cputime accounting already uses that granularity so all we need is to librarize its implementation in the asm generic headers. Also librarize the default per jiffy granularity cputime_t as well so that we can easily pick either implementation depending on the cputime accounting config we choose.

procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t

2011-12-30T00:31:57Z

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time for nohz") did not take into account that one some architectures jiffies and cputime use different units. This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong. Instead of converting the usec value returned by get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.

[S390] cputime: add sparse checking and cleanup

2011-12-15T13:56:19Z

Make cputime_t and cputime64_t nocast to enable sparse checking to detect incorrect use of cputime. Drop the cputime macros for simple scalar operations. The conversion macros are still needed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

taskstats: use real microsecond granularity for CPU times

2010-10-28T01:03:17Z

The taskstats interface uses microsecond granularity for the user and system time values. The conversion from cputime to the taskstats values uses the cputime_to_msecs primitive which effectively limits the granularity to milliseconds. Add the cputime_to_usecs primitive for architectures that have better, more precise CPU time values. Remove cputime_to_msecs primitive because there are no more users left.

cputime: Optimize jiffies_to_cputime(1)

2009-08-03T12:48:36Z

For powerpc with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING jiffies_to_cputime(1) is not compile time constant and run time calculations are quite expensive. To optimize we use precomputed value. For all other architectures is is preprocessor definition.

taskstats scaled time cleanup

2008-02-06T18:41:00Z

This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime. This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are both NOPs. Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.
