Big overhead on task switch with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE #171
Comments
A first reduction can be achieved by removing CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on targets not having SPURR and/or PURR registers. The following result is obtained with the patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/952605/
With this change, the overhead is now only 15% over CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING, so it reduces the overhead by 10 points, ie it removes 40% of the overhead. |
In https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/comment/1928919/ @npiggin was suggesting to restrict CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME even further. Do we know exactly which configuration support that, ie have SPRN_SPURR and/or SPRN_PURR ? |
…EPLACE Daniel Micay reports that attempting to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in an application causes that application to randomly crash. The existing check for handling MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE looks up the first VMA that either overlaps or follows the requested region, and then bails out if that VMA overlaps *the start* of the requested region. It does not bail out if the VMA only overlaps another part of the requested region. Fix it by checking that the found VMA only starts at or after the end of the requested region, in which case there is no overlap.

Measurement done on a 8xx with the following app:
Result with CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING:
Result with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE:
So 1595ms additional ms are spent with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE, that is a 24% overhead.
