Linux kernel source tree
a94e065726
The current approach is a bit naive, and hence calls the time querying
way too often. Only start the "doing work" timer when there's actual
work to do, and then use that information to terminate (and account) the
work time once done. This greatly reduces the frequency of these calls,
when they cannot have changed anyway.
Running a basic random reader that is setup to use SQPOLL, a profile
before this change shows these as the top cycle consumers:
+ 32.60% iou-sqp-1074 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] thread_group_cputime_adjusted
+ 19.97% iou-sqp-1074 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] thread_group_cputime
+ 12.20% io_uring io_uring [.] submitter_uring_fn
+ 4.13% iou-sqp-1074 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] getrusage
+ 2.45% iou-sqp-1074 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_submit_sqes
+ 2.18% iou-sqp-1074 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __pi_memset_generic
+ 2.09% iou-sqp-1074 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cputime_adjust
and after this change, top of profile looks as follows:
+ 36.23% io_uring io_uring [.] submitter_uring_fn
+ 23.26% iou-sqp-819 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_sq_thread
+ 10.14% iou-sqp-819 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_sq_tw
+ 6.52% iou-sqp-819 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tctx_task_work_run
+ 4.82% iou-sqp-819 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] nvme_submit_cmds.part.0
+ 2.91% iou-sqp-819 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] io_submit_sqes
[...]
0.02% iou-sqp-819 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cputime_adjust
where it's spending the cycles on things that actually matter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
