uml: an idle system should have zero load average

2007-05-08T18:14:57+00:00

The ever-vigilant users of linode.com noticed that an idle 2.6 UML has a
persistent load average of ~.4.

It turns out that because the UML timer handler processed softirqs before
actually delivering the tick, the tick was counted in the context of the idle
thread about half the time.

uml: virtualized time fix

2007-05-07T19:13:04+00:00

With the current timekeeping, !CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK has
inconsistent behavior.  Previously, gettimeofday could be (and was)
isolated from the clock ticking.  Now, it's not, so when
CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK is disabled, gettimeofday must progress in
lockstep with the clock, making it fully virtual.

user_util.h isn't needed any more, so delete it and remove all includes of it.

[PATCH] uml: make time data per-cpu

2007-02-11T18:51:22+00:00

prev_nsecs and delta need to be arrays, and indexed by CPU number.

Real fix for UML pt_regs stuff.  Note set_irq_regs() logics in there...

[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)

2006-09-29T16:18:15+00:00

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

[PATCH] uml: fix sleep length bug

2006-09-27T15:26:16+00:00

um_timer shouldn't add local_offset to the host time since get_time already
did it.  This threw off sleep when a settimeofday or equivalent had happened.

[PATCH] uml: timer cleanups

2006-09-26T15:49:08+00:00

set_interval returns an error instead of panicing if setitimer fails.  Some of
its callers now check the return.

enable_timer is largely tt-mode-specific, so it is marked as such, and the
only skas-mode caller is made to call set-interval instead.

user_time_init was a no-value-added wrapper around set_interval, so it is
gone.

Since set_interval is now called from kernel code, callers no longer pass
ITIMER_* to it.  Instead, they pass a flag which is converted into ITIMER_REAL
or ITIMER_VIRTUAL.

[PATCH] uml: move _kern.c files

2006-07-10T20:24:24+00:00

Move most *_kern.c files in arch/um/kernel to *.c.  This makes UML somewhat
more closely resemble the other arches.
