Ingo,

  cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime (2012-10-29 21:31:32 +0100)

It is based on top of tip:sched/core of today.

Tested on x86 and powerpc. Built-tested only on ia64 and s390.

Thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Cputime cleanups and optimizations:

* Gather vtime headers that were a bit scattered around

* Separate irqtime and vtime namespaces that were
colliding, resulting in useless calls to irqtime accounting.

* Slightly optimize irq and guest vtime accounting.

Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>

----------------------------------------------------------------
Frederic Weisbecker (5):
      vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header file
      vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafe
      kvm: Directly account vtime to system on guest switch
      cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooks
      cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime
