[PATCH 0/5] cputime: Moar cleanups / enhancements v2

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Oct 24 2012 - 20:52:49 EST


I made some changes to the series:

- Handle possible softirq interrupting idle on local_bh_enable()
- Have a dedicated vtime.h header file
- Do some clearer ifdeffery
- Use an irqsafe vtime_account_system() on kvm.

Patches 1/5 and 5/5 are something I really think we want. Patch 3/5
implicitly fixes a bug in s390. If you prefer I can just fix s390
and drop the rest of the patch that is just a micro-optimization
in the kvm guest switch path.

The rest of the patches is micro optimizations on the irq path.
If you think these are pointless over-optimizations, I can just drop
these and only keep 1/5, rebase 5/5 and extract the bug fix in s390 that
resides in 3/5.

Otherwise I'll send a pull request to Ingo in a week or so.

If you want to test, it is pullable from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
cputime/cleanups-v3

Tested on powerpc and x86. Built tested on ia64. s390 doesn't build defconfig
on v3.7-rc2.

Frederic Weisbecker (5):
vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header file
vtime: Provide an irq safe version of vtime_account_system()
kvm: Directly account vtime to system on guest switch
cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooks
cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime
