Variables to keep ar.itc values is required.
At least we need:
- holder of time at last check point
When cpu comes to check-point(state-transition point),
load the time at last check point from this variable,
and save current time instead. The difference between
last time and current time is elapsed time in previous
state.
However, what we need to care about here is cost of
translation from the difference of time to elapsed time,
i.e. cost of translation from cycle to nsec.
This is a floating point calculation, not so cheap.
So doing this translation in every kernel entrance/exit
is not good idea.
Therefore, we prepare more:
- holder of cumulated cycles for utime
- holder of cumulated cycles for stime
Using these variables, we can avoid translation until it
is required. Translations on context switch and that in
account_system_vtime() are not avoidable, since former
changes accounting thread, and latter requires dividing
stime to one in irq/softirq and one in not.
So if the thread repeats round trip between user and kernel
without receiving interrupt, translation is required only
once at leaving on context switch.
On the other hand, a timer interrupt will happen in every
tick, so translation (and update of stime/utime) will be
executed at least every tick.
Finally, I allocate these variables in thread_info since
it is accessible even in kernel entrance/exit, without
causing a page fault. This location is a moot point.
