clocksource/drivers/arc_timer: Utilize generic sched_clock
It turned out we used to use default implementation of sched_clock() from kernel/sched/clock.c which was as precise as 1/HZ, i.e. by default we had 10 msec granularity of time measurement. Now given ARC built-in timers are clocked with the same frequency as CPU cores we may get much higher precision of time tracking. Thus we switch to generic sched_clock which really reads ARC hardware counters. This is especially helpful for measuring short events. That's what we used to have: ------------------------------>8------------------------ $ perf stat /bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello > /dev/null Performance counter stats for '/bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello': 10.000000 task-clock (msec) # 2.832 CPUs utilized 1 context-switches # 0.100 K/sec 1 cpu-migrations # 0.100 K/sec 63 page-faults # 0.006 M/sec 3049480 cycles # 0.305 GHz 1091259 instructions # 0.36 insn per cycle 256828 branches # 25.683 M/sec 27026 branch-misses # 10.52% of all branches 0.003530687 seconds time elapsed 0.000000000 seconds user 0.010000000 seconds sys ------------------------------>8------------------------ And now we'll see: ------------------------------>8------------------------ $ perf stat /bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello > /dev/null Performance counter stats for '/bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello': 3.004322 task-clock (msec) # 0.865 CPUs utilized 1 context-switches # 0.333 K/sec 1 cpu-migrations # 0.333 K/sec 63 page-faults # 0.021 M/sec 2986734 cycles # 0.994 GHz 1087466 instructions # 0.36 insn per cycle 255209 branches # 84.947 M/sec 26002 branch-misses # 10.19% of all branches 0.003474829 seconds time elapsed 0.003519000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys ------------------------------>8------------------------ Note how much more meaningful is the second output - time spent for execution pretty much matches number of cycles spent (we're runnign @ 1GHz here).
