sched, time: Switch VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity
When profiling syscall overhead on nohz-full kernels, after removing __acct_update_integrals() from the profile, native_sched_clock() remains as the top CPU user. This can be reduced by moving VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity. This will reduce timing accuracy on nohz_full CPUs to jiffy based sampling, just like on normal CPUs. It results in totally removing native_sched_clock from the profile, and significantly speeding up the syscall entry and exit path, as well as irq entry and exit, and KVM guest entry & exit. Additionally, only call the more expensive functions (and advance the seqlock) when jiffies actually changed. This code relies on another CPU advancing jiffies when the system is busy. On a nohz_full system, this is done by a housekeeping CPU. A microbenchmark calling an invalid syscall number 10 million times in a row speeds up an additional 30% over the numbers with just the previous patches, for a total speedup of about 40% over 4.4 and 4.5-rc1. Run times for the microbenchmark: 4.4 3.8 seconds 4.5-rc1 3.7 seconds 4.5-rc1 + first patch 3.3 seconds 4.5-rc1 + first 3 patches 3.1 seconds 4.5-rc1 + all patches 2.3 seconds A non-NOHZ_FULL cpu (not the housekeeping CPU): all kernels 1.86 seconds Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: clark@redhat.com Cc: eric.dumazet@gmail.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Cc: luto@amacapital.net Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455152907-18495-5-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
