| | | | | | | | | Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all converted types should have the same size anyway. With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void.

* [PATCH] idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

* NOHZ: reevaluate idle sleep length after add_timer_on()Thomas Gleixner2008-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code. To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event. Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the other CPU of the change in the timer wheel. Call this function from add_timer_on().

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.

* sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpcPaul Mackerras2007-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times(). This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times that updates utime and stime into a separate function called account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined, there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to implement account_process_tick. This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390 timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a suitable account_process_tick(). account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 411187fb05cd11676b0979d9fbf3291db69dbce2 caused uptime not to increase during suspend.

* NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeoutsThomas Gleixner2007-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit value. When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for HZ=1000. In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

* clocksource: fix resume logicThomas Gleixner2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this. Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume function. Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used accross suspend/resume.

* Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

* Add support for deferrable timersVenki Pallipadi2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().
