ia64: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED

2014-03-04T20:47:51+00:00

This patch removes the IRQF_DISABLED flag from ia64 architecture
code. It's a NOOP since 2.6.35 and it will be removed one day.

kvm: Prepare to add generic guest entry/exit callbacks

2013-01-27T19:35:40+00:00

Do some ground preparatory work before adding guest_enter()
and guest_exit() context tracking callbacks. Those will
be later used to read the guest cputime safely when we
run in full dynticks mode.

cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting

2013-01-27T18:23:27+00:00

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.

Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.

However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.

This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.

There are some upsides of doing this:

- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).

- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.

And one downside:

- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

IA64: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:13+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

vtime: Warn if irqs aren't disabled on system time accounting APIs

2012-11-20T14:42:51+00:00

System time accounting APIs such as vtime_account_system() and
vtime_account_idle() need to be irqsafe. Current callers include
irq entry, exit and kvm, all of which have been checked against that
requirement. Now it's better to grow that with an automatic check
in case we have further callers or we missed something.

vtime: Consolidate a bit the ctx switch code

2012-11-19T15:41:32+00:00

On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists
in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few
arch housekeeping.

Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is
a special case because pending user and system time accounting
there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.

vtime: Explicitly account pending user time on process tick

2012-11-19T15:41:21+00:00

All vtime implementations just flush the user time on process
tick. Consolidate that in generic code by calling a user time
accounting helper. This avoids an indirect call in ia64 and
prepare to also consolidate vtime context switch code.

vtime: Remove the underscore prefix invasion

2012-11-19T15:40:16+00:00

Prepending irq-unsafe vtime APIs with underscores was actually
a bad idea as the result is a big mess in the API namespace that
is even waiting to be further extended. Also these helpers
are always called from irq safe callers except kvm. Just
provide a vtime_account_system_irqsafe() for this specific
case so that we can remove the underscore prefix on other
vtime functions.

vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafe

2012-10-29T20:31:31+00:00

vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with
vtime_account() which is irq safe.

Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where
irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime.

So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".

vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.
