Frederic Weisbecker a19ff1a2cc sched/cputime, powerpc/vtime: Accumulate cputime and account only on tick/task switch
Currently CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y accounts the cputime on
any context boundary: irq entry/exit, guest entry/exit, context switch,
etc...

Calling functions such as account_system_time(), account_user_time()
and such can be costly, especially if they are called on many fastpath
such as twice per IRQ. Those functions do more than just accounting to
kcpustat and task cputime. Depending on the config, some subsystems can
perform unpleasant multiplications and divisions, among other things.

So lets accumulate the cputime instead and delay the accounting on ticks
and context switches only.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
