From 9edfbfed3f544a7830d99b341f0c175995a02950 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 11:18:11 +0100 Subject: sched/core: Rework rq->clock update skips The original purpose of rq::skip_clock_update was to avoid 'costly' clock updates for back to back wakeup-preempt pairs. The big problem with it has always been that the rq variable is unaware of the context and causes indiscrimiate clock skips. Rework the entire thing and create a sense of context by only allowing schedule() to skip clock updates. (XXX can we measure the cost of the added store?) By ensuring only schedule can ever skip an update, we guarantee we're never more than 1 tick behind on the update.
