[PATCH 04/25] vtime: Spare a seqcount lock/unlock cycle on context switch

Frederic Weisbecker
2018-11-14T02:46:29Z

On context switch we are locking the vtime seqcount of the scheduling-out
task twice:

* On vtime_task_switch_common(), when we flush the pending vtime through
vtime_account_system() / vtime_account_idle()

* On arch_vtime_task_switch() to reset the vtime state.

This is pointless as these actions can be performed without the need
to unlock/lock in the middle. The reason these steps are separated is to
consolidate a very small amount of common code between
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE.

Performance in this fast path is definetly a priority over artificial
code factorization so split the task switch code between GEN and
NATIVE and mutualize the parts than can run under a single seqcount
locked block.
