Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2014-04-01T18:22:57Z

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The irq department proudly presents: - Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse. Clear winner of the trainwreck engineering contest was: #include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h" - Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask. - Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics. - Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq() which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci code. - New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs. The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources from request/free_irq. - A few new ARM interrupt chips. No revolutionary new hardware, just differently wreckaged variations of the scheme. - Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place" I was hoping that that trainwreck engineering contest was a April Fools' joke.

cputime: Default implementation of nsecs -> cputime conversion

2014-03-13T14:56:43Z

The architectures that override cputime_t (s390, ppc) don't provide any version of nsecs_to_cputime(). Indeed this cputime_t implementation by backend only happens when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y under which the core code doesn't make any use of nsecs_to_cputime(). At least for now. We are going to make a broader use of it so lets provide a default version with a per usecs granularity. It should be good enough for most usecases.

genirq: Move kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu() to core

2014-03-04T16:37:54Z

No more users outside the core code. Put it into the poison cabinet. That also gets rid of the linux/irq.h include in kernel_stat.h Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140223212739.124207133@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

genirq: Add a kstat helper to increment irq stats

2014-03-04T16:37:53Z

There is a common pattern all over the place: kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(irq, irq_to_desc(irq)); This results in a call to core code anyway. So provide a function which does the same thing in core. While at it, replace the butt ugly macro with an inline.

Remove GENERIC_HARDIRQ config option

2013-09-13T13:09:52Z

After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

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.

vtime: Explicitly account pending user time on process tick

2012-11-19T15:41:21Z

All vtime implementations just flush the user time on process tick. Consolidate that in generic code by calling a user time accounting helper. This avoids an indirect call in ia64 and prepare to also consolidate vtime context switch code.

vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header file

These APIs are scattered around and are going to expand a bit. Let's create a dedicated header file for sanity. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Paul Gortmaker

vtime: Consolidate system/idle context detection

2012-09-25T13:42:37Z

Move the code that finds out to which context we account the cputime into generic layer. Archs that consider the whole time spent in the idle task as idle time (ia64, powerpc) can rely on the generic vtime_account() and implement vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle(), letting the generic code to decide when to call which API. Archs that have their own meaning of idle time, such as s390 that only considers the time spent in CPU low power mode as idle time, can just override vtime_account().

cputime: Use a proper subsystem naming for vtime related APIs

2012-09-25T13:31:31Z

Use a naming based on vtime as a prefix for virtual based cputime accounting APIs: - account_system_vtime() -> vtime_account() - account_switch_vtime() -> vtime_task_switch() It makes it easier to allow for further declension such as vtime_account_system(), vtime_account_idle(), ... if we want to find out the context we account to from generic code. This also make it better to know on which subsystem these APIs refer to.
