in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for 20% of the system overhead: 659567 system_call 41222.9375 686796 schedule 435.7843 718382 __switch_to 665.1685 823875 switch_mm 4526.7857 1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412 9761990 total 2.8468 this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before and after reading the TSC. But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use them in vget_cycles(). This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
