From 4603ac180a824197c2262747948d0179eb076e9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Neuling Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 03:06:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: add scaled time accounting This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting. POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU frequency. This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit. The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read. An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR was read, which included the system call entry and exit path. Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was re-implemented. I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and 5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).
