Subject: [PATCH 3/4] time,acct: drop irq save & restore from __acct_update_integrals
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 22:36:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454124965-13974-4-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454124965-13974-1-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com>

From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

It looks like all the call paths that lead to __acct_update_integrals
already have irqs disabled, and __acct_update_integrals does not need
to disable irqs itself.

This is very convenient since about half the CPU time left in this
function was spent in local_irq_save alone.

Performance of a microbenchmark that calls an invalid syscall
ten million times in a row on a nohz_full CPU improves 21% vs.
4.5-rc1 with both the removal of divisions from __acct_update_integrals
and this patch, with runtime dropping from 3.7 to 2.9 seconds.

With these patches applied, the highest remaining cpu user in
the trace is native_sched_clock, which is addressed in the next
patch.
