* x86, tsc, sched: Recompute cyc2ns_offset's during resume from sleep statesSuresh Siddha2010-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still sync'd across cpu's) during resume. This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and idle cpu's after suspend/resume. This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops. Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during suspend.

* x86: Move tsc_calibration to x86_init_opsThomas Gleixner2009-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware hypervisor. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* x86: clean up vget_cycles()Ingo Molnar2008-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: remove unused variable I forgot to remove the now unused "cycles_t cycles" parameter from vget_cycles() - which triggers build warnings as tsc.h is included in a number of files. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86: clean up rdtsc_barrier() useIngo Molnar2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup Move rdtsc_barrier() use to vsyscall_64.c where it's relied on, and point out its role in the context of its use. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* sched: improve sched_clock() performanceIngo Molnar2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for 20% of the system overhead: 659567 system_call 41222.9375 686796 schedule 435.7843 718382 __switch_to 665.1685 823875 switch_mm 4526.7857 1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412 9761990 total 2.8468 this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before and after reading the TSC. But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use them in vget_cycles(). This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin2008-10-23
| | | | | | | | | Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
