2006-08-31[PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparisonPaul Mackerras1-4/+0
This fixes a hang on ppc32. The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing. This makes us use a 64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through the code). This works fine on my G4 tibook. Let me know how it goes on your machines.

2006-02-24powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accountingPaul Mackerras1-0/+15
This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit powerpc kernels. Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode. We also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts accurately. This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. If that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before. To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase on other machines on * each entry to the kernel from usermode * each exit to usermode * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq context in kernel mode * context switches. On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time). Unfortunately, since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment. This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers, i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc. This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(), times(), etc. Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a second) when reported to userspace. Some precision is therefore lost but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal accumulation is at full precision. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-13[PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACADavid Gibson1-3/+2
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.

2005-10-23powerpc: Fix time code for 601 processorsPaul Mackerras1-1/+13
The 601 doesn't have the timebase register; instead it has an RTCL register that counts nanoseconds and wraps at 1000000000, and an RTCU register that counts seconds. This makes the necessary changes for the merged time code to use the RTCL/U registers when the kernel is running on a 601. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-10-22ppc64/powerpc: Fix time initialization on SMP systemsPaul Mackerras1-3/+5
This moves smp_space_timers from arch/ppc64/kernel/smp.c to arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c and makes it initialize last_jiffy[] instead of paca[].next_jiffy_update_tb, since last_jiffy[] is now what the time code uses. It also declares smp_space_timers in include/asm-powerpc/time.h and gets rid of an ifdef in div128_by_32. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-10-20powerpc: Fix some bugs in the new merged time codePaul Mackerras1-1/+1
I had the sense of the test for when to use the old 601-style RTC registers inverted. pmac_calibrate_decr and via_calibrate_decr weren't setting ppc_tb_freq, on which all the further calculations depended. Lastly, update_gtod was losing the top 32 bits of the new tb_to_xs value. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-10-20powerpc: Merge time.c and asm/time.h.Paul Mackerras1-0/+212
We now use the merged time.c for both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation with ARCH=powerpc, and for ARCH=ppc64, but not for ARCH=ppc32. This removes setup_default_decr (folds its function into time_init) and moves wakeup_decrementer into time.c. This also makes an asm-powerpc/rtc.h. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
