Otherwise, the vmstat_shepherd might queue a work item to synchronize them, which is undesired intereference for isolated CPUs. This patch syncs CPU-specific vmstat differentials, on return to userspace, if CONFIG_FLUSH_WORK_ON_RESUME_USER is enabled and the tick is stopped. A trivial test program was used to determine the impact of the proposed changes and under vanilla. The mlock(2) and munlock(2) system calls was used solely to modify vmstat item 'NR_MLOCK'. The following is an average count of CPU-cycles across the aforementioned system calls: Vanilla Modified Cycles per syscall 8461 8690 (+2.6%) Signed-off-by: Aaron Tomlin Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti --- include/linux/tick.h | 5 +++-- kernel/time/tick-sched.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/include/linux/tick.h =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --- linux-2.6.orig/include/linux/tick.h +++ linux-2.6/include/linux/tick.h @@ -11,7 +11,6 @@ #include #include #include -#include =20 #ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS extern void __init tick_init(void); @@ -272,6 +271,7 @@ static inline void tick_dep_clear_signal =20 extern void tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu(int cpu); extern void __tick_nohz_task_switch(void); +void __tick_nohz_user_enter_prepare(void); extern void __init tick_nohz_full_setup(cpumask_var_t cpumask); #else static inline bool tick_nohz_full_enabled(void) { return false; } @@ -296,6 +296,7 @@ static inline void tick_dep_clear_signal =20 static inline void tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu(int cpu) { } static inline void __tick_nohz_task_switch(void) { } +static inline void __tick_nohz_user_enter_prepare(void) { } static inline void tick_nohz_full_setup(cpumask_var_t cpumask) { } #endif =20 @@ -308,7 +309,7 @@ static inline void tick_nohz_task_switch static inline void tick_nohz_user_enter_prepare(void) { if (tick_nohz_full_cpu(smp_processor_id())) - rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup(); + __tick_nohz_user_enter_prepare(); } =20 #endif Index: linux-2.6/kernel/time/tick-sched.c =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --- linux-2.6.orig/kernel/time/tick-sched.c +++ linux-2.6/kernel/time/tick-sched.c @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include =20 #include =20 @@ -519,6 +520,23 @@ void __tick_nohz_task_switch(void) } } =20 +void __tick_nohz_user_enter_prepare(void) +{ + if (tick_nohz_full_cpu(smp_processor_id())) { + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FLUSH_WORK_ON_RESUME_USER)) { + struct tick_sched *ts; + + ts =3D this_cpu_ptr(&tick_cpu_sched); + + if (ts->tick_stopped) + quiet_vmstat(true); + } + + rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup(); + } +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__tick_nohz_user_enter_prepare); + /* Get the boot-time nohz CPU list from the kernel parameters. */ void __init tick_nohz_full_setup(cpumask_var_t cpumask) {
