powerpc/time: Only set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on PPC64

2018-10-20T02:26:47Z

scaled cputime is only meaningfull when the processor has SPURR and/or PURR, which means only on PPC64. Removing it on PPC32 significantly reduces the size of vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle() on an 8xx: Before: 00000000 l F .text 000000a8 vtime_delta 00000280 g F .text 0000010c vtime_account_system 0000038c g F .text 00000048 vtime_account_idle After: (vtime_delta gets inlined inside the two functions) 000001d8 g F .text 000000a0 vtime_account_system 00000278 g F .text 00000038 vtime_account_idle In terms of performance, we also get approximatly 7% improvement on task switch. The following small benchmark app is run with perf stat: void *thread(void *arg) { int i; for (i = 0; i < atoi((char*)arg); i++) pthread_yield(); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { pthread_t th1, th2; pthread_create(&th1, NULL, thread, argv[1]); pthread_create(&th2, NULL, thread, argv[1]); pthread_join(th1, NULL); pthread_join(th2, NULL); return 0; } Before the patch: Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000' (50 runs): 8228.476465 task-clock (msec) # 0.954 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.23% ) 200004 context-switches # 0.024 M/sec ( +- 0.00% ) After the patch: Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000' (50 runs): 7649.070444 task-clock (msec) # 0.955 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.27% ) 200004 context-switches # 0.026 M/sec ( +- 0.00% ) Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

sched/cputime, powerpc: Prepare accounting structure for cputime flush on tick

2017-01-14T08:54:12Z

In order to prepare for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y to delay cputime accounting to the tick, provide finegrained accumulators to powerpc in order to store the cputime until flushing. While at it, normalize the name of several fields according to common cputime naming.

powerpc32: provide VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING

2016-07-09T06:43:50Z

This patch provides VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING to PPC32 architecture. PPC32 doesn't have the PACA structure, so we use the task_info structure to store the accounting data. In order to reuse on PPC32 the PPC64 functions, all u64 data has been replaced by 'unsigned long' so that it is u32 on PPC32 and u64 on PPC64 Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Scott Wood
