A minor comment: instead of implicitly knowing that full nohz CPUs mean a stale
rq_clock, how about adding this information to the rq-> itself?
Something like introducing rq->clock_valid, initializing it to 1, and setting
it
to 0 when a CPU stops the tick.
(This would also allow the debug detection of sched_clock() use of stale
values.)
We already have a similar flag: rq->skip_clock_update. I'd suggest to introduce
a
'struct sched_clock' helper structure and add the flags and scheduler clock
fields
as:
rq->clock -> rq->clock.cpu
rq->clock_task -> rq->clock.task
rq->clock_valid -> rq->clock.valid
rq->clock_skip_uipdate -> rq->clock.skip_update
rq->hrtick_timer -> rq->clock.hrtick_timer
rq->prev_irq_time -> rq->clock.prev_irq_time
rq->prev_steal_time -> rq->clock.prev_steal_time
rq->prev_steal_time_rq -> rq->clock.prev_steal_time_rq
Thanks,
