timer: Stats: Simplify the flags handling

2015-06-19T13:18:27Z

Simplify the handling of the flag storage for the timer statistics. No intermediate storage anymore. Just hand over the flags field. I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about that. OTOH, I wonder whether we should kill the whole timer stats stuff because all of that information can be retrieved via ftrace/perf as well.

timer stats: Add a 'Collection: active/inactive' line to timer usage statistics

2013-10-10T07:59:25Z

We can enable/disable timer statistics collection via: echo [1|0] > /proc/timers_stats and it would be nice if apps had the ability to check what the current collection status is. This patch adds a 'Collection: active/inactive' line to display the current timer collection status. Also bump up the timer stats version to v0.3.

locking, timer_stats: Annotate table_lock as raw

2011-09-13T09:12:00Z

The table_lock lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.

percpu: make percpu symbols under kernel/ and mm/ unique

2009-10-29T13:34:13Z

This patch updates percpu related symbols under kernel/ and mm/ such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols. * kernel/lockdep.c: s/lock_stats/cpu_lock_stats/ * kernel/sched.c: s/init_rq_rt/init_rt_rq_var/ (any better idea?) s/sched_group_cpus/sched_groups/ * kernel/softirq.c: s/ksoftirqd/run_ksoftirqd/a * kernel/softlockup.c: s/(*)_timestamp/softlockup_\1_ts/ s/watchdog_task/softlockup_watchdog/ s/timestamp/ts/ for local variables * kernel/time/timer_stats: s/lookup_lock/tstats_lookup_lock/ * mm/slab.c: s/reap_work/slab_reap_work/ s/reap_node/slab_reap_node/ * mm/vmstat.c: local variable changed to avoid collision with vmstat_work Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars which cause name clashes" patch.

timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls

2009-06-24T09:15:09Z

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some fields in the corresponding struct timer_list. So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info when timer stats are disabled. In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu consumption by 1 - 1.5%.
