Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched,time: remove pointless divides from __acct_update_integrals
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:22:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454106180-20918-2-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454106180-20918-1-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com>

From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

When running a microbenchmark calling an invalid syscall number
in a loop, on a nohz_full CPU, we spend a full 9% of our CPU
time in __acct_update_integrals.

This function converts cputime_t to jiffies, to a timeval, only to
convert the timeval back to microseconds before discarding it.

This patch leaves __acct_update_integrals functionally equivalent,
but speeds things up by about 11%, with 10 million calls to an
invalid syscall number dropping from 3.7 to 3.3 seconds.
