sched/vtime: Get rid of generic vtime_task_switch() implementation

2024-04-17T11:37:20+00:00

The generic vtime_task_switch() implementation gets built only if __ARCH_HAS_VTIME_TASK_SWITCH is not defined, but requires an architecture to implement arch_vtime_task_switch() callback at the same time, which is confusing. Further, arch_vtime_task_switch() is implemented for 32-bit PowerPC architecture only and vtime_task_switch() generic variant is rather superfluous. Simplify the whole vtime_task_switch() wiring by moving the existing generic implementation to PowerPC.

powerpc: remove the last remnants of cputime_t

2022-11-24T12:31:48+00:00

cputime_t was a core kernel type, removed by commits ed5c8c854f2b..b672592f0221. As explained in commit b672592f0221 ("sched/cputime: Remove generic asm headers"), the final cleanup is for the arch to provide cputime_to_nsec[s](). Commit ade7667a981b ("powerpc: Add cputime_to_nsecs()") did that, but justdidn't remove the then-unused cputime_to_usecs(), cputime_t type, and associated remnants.

powerpc/pseries: Move dtl scanning and steal time accounting to pseries platform

2022-09-05T04:14:27+00:00

dtl is the PAPR Dispatch Trace Log, which is entirely a pseries feature. The pseries platform alrady has a file dealing with the dtl, so move scanning for stolen time accounting there from kernel/time.c.

powerpc/64/sycall: Implement syscall entry/exit logic in C

2020-04-01T02:42:13+00:00

System call entry and particularly exit code is beyond the limit of what is reasonable to implement in asm. This conversion moves all conditional branches out of the asm code, except for the case that all GPRs should be restored at exit. Null syscall test is about 5% faster after this patch, because the exit work is handled under local_irq_disable, and the hard mask and pending interrupt replay is handled after that, which avoids games with MSR. mpe: Includes subsequent fixes from Nick: This fixes 4 issues caught by TM selftests. First was a tm-syscall bug that hit due to tabort_syscall being called after interrupts were reconciled (in a subsequent patch), which led to interrupts being enabled before tabort_syscall was called. Rather than going through an un-reconciling interrupts for the return, I just go back to putting the test early in asm, the C-ification of that wasn't a big win anyway. Second is the syscall return _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK check would go into an infinite loop if _TIF_RESTORE_TM became set. The asm code uses _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to brach to slowpath which includes restore_tm_state. Third is system call return was not calling restore_tm_state, I missed this completely (alhtough it's in the return from interrupt C conversion because when the asm syscall code encountered problems it would branch to the interrupt return code. Fourth is MSR_VEC missing from restore_math, which was caught by tm-unavailable selftest taking an unexpected facility unavailable interrupt when testing VSX unavailble exception with MSR.FP=1 MSR.VEC=1. Fourth case also has a fixup in a subsequent patch.

powerpc/time: Only set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on PPC64

2018-10-20T02:26:47+00:00

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.
