[PATCH v6] MIPS: Add a high resolution sched_clock() via cnt32_to_63().

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@xxxxxxxxx>

(The changes of this v6 revision from v5 revision:

 o hard-codes the cycle2ns_scale_factor as 8 for 30(cs->shift) is too
 big. With 30, the return value of sched_clock() will also overflow quickly.
 o moves the sched_clock() back into csrc-r4k.c as David and Sergei
 recommended.
 o inits c0 count as zero for PRINTK_TIME=y.
 o drops the HR_SCHED_CLCOK option for the current sched_clock() is stable
 enough to replace the jiffies based one.
)

This patch adds a cnt32_to_63() and MIPS c0 count based sched_clock(),
which provides high resolution.

Without it, the Ftrace for MIPS will give useless timestamp information.

Because cnt32_to_63() needs to be called at least once per half period
to work properly, Differ from the old version, this v2 revision set up a
kernel timer to ensure the requirement of some MIPSs which have short c0
count period.

And also, we init the c0 count as ZERO(just as jiffies does) in
time_init() before plat_time_init(), without it, PRINTK_TIME=y will get
wrong timestamp information. (NOTE: some platforms have initiazlied c0
count as zero, but some not, this may introduce some duplication,
perhaps a new patch is needed to remove the initialized of c0 count in
the platforms later?)

This is originally from arch/arm/plat-orion/time.c

This revision works well for function graph tracer now, and also,
PRINTK_TIME=y will get normal timestamp informatin.
