From 4995f8ef9d3aac72745e12419d7fbaa8d01b1d81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 14:18:52 +0100 Subject: vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding" During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless. A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m1.142s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.540s If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m0.152s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.072s Cc: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- include/linux/console.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/linux/console.h') diff --git a/include/linux/console.h b/include/linux/console.h index a67a90cf8268..dcca5339ceb3 100644 --- a/include/linux/console.h +++ b/include/linux/console.h @@ -137,8 +137,8 @@ extern void resume_console(void); int mda_console_init(void); void prom_con_init(void); -void vcs_make_sysfs(struct tty_struct *tty); -void vcs_remove_sysfs(struct tty_struct *tty); +void vcs_make_sysfs(int index); +void vcs_remove_sysfs(int index); /* Some debug stub to catch some of the obvious races in the VT code */ #if 1 -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
