#1438644 — [PATCH 0/2] sched/cputime: Deltas for "replace VTIME_GEN irq time code with IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code"

Hi Rick,

While reviewing your 2nd patch, I thought about these cleanups. Perhaps
the first one could be merged into your patch. I let you decide.

Thanks.

#1438645 — [PATCH 1/2] sched: Complete cleanup of old vtime gen irqtime accounting

Vtime generic irqtime accounting has been removed but there are a few
remains to cleanup:

* The vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled() check in irq entry was only used
  by CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can safely remove it.

* Without the vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled(), we no longer need to
  have a vtime_common_account_irq_enter() indirect function.

* Move vtime_account_irq_enter() implementation under
  CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE which is the last user.

* The vtime_account_user() call was only used on irq entry for
  CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can remove that too.

#1438647 — [PATCH 2/2] sched: Reorganize vtime native irqtime accounting headers

The vtime irqtime accounting headers are very scattered and convoluted
right now. Reorganize them such that it is obvious that only
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE does use it.

I'm not convinced we want to merge cleanups and functional
changes into the same patch, given how convoluted the code
is/was.

Both of your patches look good though.

What tree should they go in through?

-tip I suspect. So my plan was the following, this series of yours:

  [PATCH v3 0/4] sched,time: fix irq time accounting with nohz_idle

... looked almost ready, it looked like as if I could merge v4 once you sent it.

Plus Frederic submitted these two cleanups - looks like I could merge these on top 
of your series and have them close to each other in the Git space.

And I do agree that we should keep these cleanups separate and not merge them into 
patches that change functionality.

If your series is expected to be risky then we could make things easier to handle 
later on if we switched around things and first made low-risk cleanups and then 
any changes/fixes on top - do you think that's necessary in this case?

Thanks,

	Ingo

I personally think that none of this is low-risk material. Perhaps we can gather
the whole in the same tree? I can resend the series proper with my patches inside
if you like. And I have yet to review the last patch of the series.

Thanks.

Ok, I'll base it on tip:sched/core, right?

Only if there's conflicts or dependencies - otherwise please use v4.7-rc6 as a 
base.

Ah so it can be a standalone branch, good point, thanks!
