This series seems to make basic tick based time sampling from a housekeeping CPU work, allowing us to have tick based accounting on a nohz_full CPU, and no longer doing vtime accounting on those CPUs. It still needs a major cleanup, and steal time accounting and irq accounting are still missing. Just posting this to get a sense of whether I am headed in the right direction, or whether we need some major overhaul/cleanup of part of the code first. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
