[PATCH 3/3] cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Oct 08 2012 - 18:36:42 EST


vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_TIME_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
the second case it only handles irq time accounting.

So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.
