Re: [PATCH V3]hrtimer: Fix a performance regression by disable reprogramming in remove_hrtimer

["ethan.zhao" <ethan.kernel@gmail.com>]

Kernel 3.11-rc1 +Peterz' patch+ Mike's patch, No C-states in BIOS, got the same result as only Peter's patch.
Of course , No C states to enter, make sense.
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m4.381s
user	0m0.099s
sys	0m2.784s
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m4.436s
user	0m0.093s
sys	0m2.809s
[root@localhost ~]# 

Retest with C-states enabled in BIOS
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m8.670s
user	0m0.203s
sys	0m5.459s
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m8.489s
user	0m0.184s
sys	0m5.360s
[root@localhost ~]# 

So the result is Peter's patch working or Mike's ?  Compared with default 3.11-rc3
result of test case 1 as following, looks great.
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m10.683s
user	0m0.204s
sys	0m6.597s
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m10.629s
user	0m0.185s
sys	0m6.546s

So revert Mike's patch and retest, got
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m8.606s
user	0m0.193s
sys	0m5.449s
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m8.655s
user	0m0.198s
sys	0m5.519s
[root@localhost ~]# 

So, it's Peter's patch working………

The result of kernel 3.11-rc3 + Peter's patch + no rescheduling IPI and no C-states in BIOS is :
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m3.915s
user	0m0.088s
sys	0m2.487s
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

real	0m3.929s
user	0m0.082s
sys	0m2.560s
[root@localhost ~]# time ./pip1m

Got about 0.5 sec better than only Peter's patch, but it is strange, only no rescheduling IPI almost got the
same result.


Thanks,
Ethan
