timers: Cache __next_timer_interrupt result
Each time a cpu goes to sleep on a NOHZ=y system the timer wheel is searched for the next timer interrupt. It can take quite a few cycles to find the next pending timer. This patch adds a field to tvec_base that caches the result of __next_timer_interrupt. The hit ratio is around 80% on my thinkpad under normal use, on a server I've seen hit ratios from 5% to 95% dependent on the workload. -v2: jiffies wrap fixes Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Venki Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <20090721202505.7d56a079@skybase> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
