[PATCH v5 2/3] powerpc/time: Only set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on PPC64

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Aug 02 2018 - 12:02:33 EST


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. The following small benchmark app is run with perf stat:

void *thread(void *arg)
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < atoi((char*)arg); i++)
pthread_yield();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t th1, th2;

pthread_create(&th1, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
pthread_create(&th2, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
pthread_join(th1, NULL);
pthread_join(th2, NULL);

return 0;
}

Before the patch:

Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000' (50 runs):

8228.476465 task-clock (msec) # 0.954 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.23% )
200004 context-switches # 0.024 M/sec ( +- 0.00% )

After the patch:

Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000' (50 runs):

7649.070444 task-clock (msec) # 0.955 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.27% )
200004 context-switches # 0.026 M/sec ( +- 0.00% )
