Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] cputime: Make the reported utime+stime correspond to
the actual runtime.
Excellent,
The reason I replaced the early bail with that last test is that I
believe it needs to be done within the lock and I wanted to keep that
region short. To be honest I'm not sure this test is needed at all
anymore, but I couldn't make sense of the comment above the early bail
so I didn't dare to remove it.
Regarding the lock, have you considered how many cores you need
hammering at rusage to introduce some substantial congestion ? On arm
this region is ~10 cpu-cycles long and I measure a null system
(lmbench: lat_syscall null) call to ~1000 cycles (with some kernel
debug turned on).
Sorry for not letting this go (I know I should) but I always feel bad
introducing per thread data.
/Fredrik
