Subject: [PATCH 4/9] s390/idle: Slightly optimize idle time accounting
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 15:20:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218142012.863464-5-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218142012.863464-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
Slightly optimize account_idle_time_irq() and update_timer_idle():
- Use fast single instruction __atomic64() primitives to update per
cpu idle_time and idle_count, instead of READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE()
pairs
- stcctm() is an inline assembly with a full memory barrier. This
leads to a not necessary extra dereference of smp_cpu_mtid in
update_timer_idle(). Avoid this and read smp_cpu_mtid into a
variable
- Use __this_cpu_add() instead of this_cpu_add() to avoid disabling /
enabling of preemption several times in a loop in update_timer_idle().
