Commit Message

Nicholas Piggin April 29, 2023, 6:33 a.m. UTC
  This option was created in commit 554b0004d0ec4 ("vtime: Add
HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig") for architectures to indicate
they support the 64-bit cputime_t required for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN.

The cputime_t type has since been removed, so this doesn't have any
meaning. Remove it.

Hi,

Could we tidy this? I don't know what tree it can go in, timers,
sched, asm-generic, probably doesn't matter.

The only thing this actually does is gate VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN and
NO_HZ_FULL so if your arch has some other issue that requires this
then the documentation needs to change. Any concerns from the archs?
I.e., 32-bit that does *not* define HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
which looks to be:

arc
hexagon
loongarch 32-bit with SMP
m68k
microblaze
mips 32-bit with SMP
nios2
openrisc
parisc 32-bit
riscv 32-bit
sh
sparc 32-bit
um 32-bit
x86 32-bit

Thanks,
Nick

Nothing's jumping out, though I haven't tested this yet so I'm not 100%.  
I assume this isn't aimed for this merge window, given the timing?  
Probably best to give this sort of thing time to bake in linux-next, but 
I doubt anyone is even paying attention to rv32/NO_HZ_FULL so no big 
deal either way on my end.

No, maybe the next one though.

Well, cputime_t has disappeared but not the u64 type used
for task/cpu time accounting.

But now we have the vtime seqcount. Though we already had it
when we introduced that Kconfig switch so I can't remember why
this was necessary :-(

It _looks_ OK but I might be missing something...

Thanks.
