timer: Minimize nohz off overhead
If nohz is disabled on the kernel command line the [hr]timer code
still calls wake_up_nohz_cpu() and tick_nohz_full_cpu(), a pretty
pointless exercise. Cache nohz_active in [hr]timer per cpu bases and
avoid the overhead.
Before:
48.10% hog [.] main
15.25% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
9.76% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
6.50% [kernel] [k] mod_timer
6.44% [kernel] [k] lock_timer_base.isra.38
3.87% [kernel] [k] detach_if_pending
3.80% [kernel] [k] del_timer
2.67% [kernel] [k] internal_add_timer
1.33% [kernel] [k] __internal_add_timer
0.73% [kernel] [k] timerfn
0.54% [kernel] [k] wake_up_nohz_cpu
After:
48.73% hog [.] main
15.36% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
9.77% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
6.61% [kernel] [k] lock_timer_base.isra.38
6.42% [kernel] [k] mod_timer
3.90% [kernel] [k] detach_if_pending
3.76% [kernel] [k] del_timer
2.41% [kernel] [k] internal_add_timer
1.39% [kernel] [k] __internal_add_timer
0.76% [kernel] [k] timerfn
We probably should have a cached value for nohz full in the per cpu
bases as well to avoid the cpumask check. The base cache line is hot
already, the cpumask not necessarily.
