From 951ed4d36b77ba9fe1ea08fc3c59d8bb6c9bda32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 11:27:28 +0200 Subject: timekeeping: optimized ktime_get[_ts] for GENERIC_TIME=y The generic ktime_get function defined in kernel/hrtimer.c is suboptimial for GENERIC_TIME=y: 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | ktime_get_ts() { 0) | getnstimeofday() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.601 us | } 0) 1.938 us | } 0) | set_normalized_timespec() { 0) 0.602 us | } 0) 4.375 us | } 0) 5.523 us | } Overall there are two read_seqbegin/read_seqretry loops and a lot of unnecessary struct timespec calculations. ktime_get returns a nano second value which is the sum of xtime, wall_to_monotonic and the nano second delta from the clock source. ktime_get can be optimized for GENERIC_TIME=y. The new version only calls clocksource_read: 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.610 us | } 0) 1.977 us | } It uses a single read_seqbegin/readseqretry loop and just adds everthing to a nano second value. ktime_get_ts is optimized in a similar fashion.
