From: Martin Schwidefsky On a system with NOHZ=y tick_check_idle calls tick_nohz_stop_idle and tick_nohz_update_jiffies. Given the right conditions (ts->idle_active and/or ts->tick_stopped) both function get a time stamp with ktime_get. The same time stamp can be reused if both function require one. On s390 this change has the additional benefit that gcc inlines the tick_nohz_stop_idle function into tick_check_idle. The number of instructions to execute tick_check_idle drops from 225 to 144 (without the ktime_get optimization it is 367 vs 215 instructions). before: 0) | tick_check_idle() { 0) | tick_nohz_stop_idle() { 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.601 us | } 0) 1.765 us | } 0) 3.047 us | } 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.570 us | } 0) 1.727 us | } 0) | tick_do_update_jiffies64() { 0) 0.609 us | } 0) 8.055 us | } after: 0) | tick_check_idle() { 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.617 us | } 0) 1.773 us | } 0) | tick_do_update_jiffies64() { 0) 0.593 us | } 0) 4.477 us | } Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: john stultz Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky --- kernel/time/tick-sched.c | 62 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) Index: quilt-2.6/kernel/time/tick-sched.c =================================================================== --- quilt-2.6.orig/kernel/time/tick-sched.c 2009-08-07 11:09:40.000000000 +0200 +++ quilt-2.6/kernel/time/tick-sched.c 2009-09-29 14:15:43.000000000 +0200 @@ -134,18 +134,13 @@ * value.
