timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls
When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some fields in the corresponding struct timer_list. So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info when timer stats are disabled. In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu consumption by 1 - 1.5%. This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11: perl-2497 [00] 28630647177732388 [+ 125]: sk_reset_timer <-tcp_v4_rcv perl-2497 [00] 28630647177732513 [+ 125]: mod_timer <-sk_reset_timer perl-2497 [00] 28630647177732638 [+ 125]: __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info <-mod_timer perl-2497 [00] 28630647177732763 [+ 125]: __mod_timer <-mod_timer perl-2497 [00] 28630647177732888 [+ 125]: __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info <-__mod_timer perl-2497 [00] 28630647177733013 [+ 93]: lock_timer_base <-__mod_timer Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Mustafa Mesanovic <mustafa.mesanovic@de.ibm.com> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <20090623153811.GA4641@osiris.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
