powerpc/time: Only set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on PPC64
scaled cputime is only meaningfull when the processor has
SPURR and/or PURR, which means only on PPC64.
Removing it on PPC32 significantly reduces the size of
vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle() on an 8xx:
Before:
00000000 l F .text 000000a8 vtime_delta
00000280 g F .text 0000010c vtime_account_system
0000038c g F .text 00000048 vtime_account_idle
After:
(vtime_delta gets inlined inside the two functions)
000001d8 g F .text 000000a0 vtime_account_system
00000278 g F .text 00000038 vtime_account_idle
In terms of performance, we also get approximatly 7% improvement on
task switch. The following small benchmark app is run with perf stat:
void *thread(void *arg)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < atoi((char*)arg); i++)
pthread_yield();
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t th1, th2;
pthread_create(&th1, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
pthread_create(&th2, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
pthread_join(th1, NULL);
pthread_join(th2, NULL);
return 0;
}
Before the patch:
Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000' (50 runs):
8228.476465 task-clock (msec) # 0.954 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.23% )
200004 context-switches # 0.024 M/sec ( +- 0.00% )
After the patch:
Performance counter stats for 'chrt -f 98 ./sched 100000' (50 runs):
7649.070444 task-clock (msec) # 0.955 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.27% )
200004 context-switches # 0.026 M/sec ( +- 0.00% )
