On context switch we are locking the vtime seqcount of the scheduling-out task twice: * On vtime_task_switch_common(), when we flush the pending vtime through vtime_account_system() * On arch_vtime_task_switch() to reset the vtime state. This is pointless as these actions can be performed without the need to unlock/lock in the middle. The reason these steps are separated is to consolidate a very small amount of common code between CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE. Performance in this fast path is definitely a priority over artificial code factorization so split the task switch code between GEN and NATIVE and mutualize the parts than can run under a single seqcount locked block. As a side effect, vtime_account_idle() becomes included in the seqcount protection. This happens to be a welcome preparation in order to properly support kcpustat under vtime in the future and fetch CPUTIME_IDLE without race.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
