Mete Durlu 4b9d72498d s390/vtime: fix average steal time calculation 
[ Upstream commit 367c50f784 ]

Current average steal timer calculation produces volatile and inflated
values. The only user of this value is KVM so far and it uses that to
decide whether or not to yield the vCPU which is seeing steal time.
KVM compares average steal timer to a threshold and if the threshold
is past then it does not allow CPU polling and yields it to host, else
it keeps the CPU by polling.
Since KVM's steal time threshold is very low by default (%10) it most
likely is not effected much by the bloated average steal timer values
because the operating region is pretty small. However there might be
new users in the future who might rely on this number. Fix average
steal timer calculation by changing the formula from:

	avg_steal_timer = avg_steal_timer / 2 + steal_timer;

to the following:

	avg_steal_timer = (avg_steal_timer + steal_timer) / 2;

This ensures that avg_steal_timer is actually a naive average of steal
timer values. It now closely follows steal timer values but of course
in a smoother manner.

README 

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.
