dee08a72de cputime: Fix jiffies based cputime assumption on steal accounting
The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on
jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t
is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in
jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a
value in nsecs.

As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would
be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs.

As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two
guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and
same CPU.

In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to
cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API.

Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have
a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted
value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

d0ea026808 sched: Implement task_nice() as static inline function
As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes
the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement
task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more.

This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function,
saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

5a8e01f8fa sched/cputime: Do not scale when utime == 0
scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise
when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations
on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can
be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime
results in negative value.

User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME
values on ps/top, for example:

 $ ps aux | grep rcu
 root         8  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    12:42   0:00 [rcuc/0]

or overflowed utime values read directly from /proc/$PID/stat

af2350bd12 vtime: Always debug check snapshot source _before_ updating it
The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check
that the source of the snapshot is valid.

Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also
set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before
the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless.

This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after
the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.

b854fafa4e vtime: Always scale generic vtime accounting results
The cputime accounting in full dynticks can be a subtle
mixup of CPUs using tick based accounting and others using
generic vtime.

As long as the tick can have a share on producing these stats, we
want to scale the result against CFS precise accounting as the tick
can miss some task hiding between the periodic interrupt.

54461562c9 vtime: Fix racy cputime delta update
get_vtime_delta() must be called under the task vtime_seqlock
with the code that does the cputime accounting flush.

Otherwise the cputime reader can be fooled and run into
a race where it sees the snapshot update but misses the
cputime flush. As a result it can report a cputime that is
way too short.

Fix vtime_account_user() that wasn't complying to that rule.

45eacc6927 vtime: Use consistent clocks among nohz accounting
While computing the cputime delta of dynticks CPUs,
we are mixing up clocks of differents natures:

* local_clock() which takes care of unstable clock
sources and fix these if needed.

* sched_clock() which is the weaker version of
local_clock(). It doesn't compute any fixup in case
of unstable source.

If the clock source is stable, those two clocks are the
same and we can safely compute the difference against
two random points.

Otherwise it results in random deltas as sched_clock()
can randomly drift away, back or forward, from local_clock().

As a consequence, some strange behaviour with unstable tsc
has been observed such as non progressing constant zero cputime.
(The 'top' command showing no load).

Fix this by only using local_clock(), or its irq safe/remote
equivalent, in vtime code.

68aa8efcd1 sched: Avoid prev->stime underflow
Dave Hansen reported strange utime/stime values on his system:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/4/435

This happens because prev->stime value is bigger than rtime
value. Root of the problem are non-monotonic rtime values (i.e.
current rtime is smaller than previous rtime) and that should be
debugged and fixed.

But since problem did not manifest itself before commit
62188451f0 "cputime: Avoid
multiplication overflow on utime scaling", it should be threated
as regression, which we can easily fixed on cputime_adjust()
function.

For now, let's apply this fix, but further work is needed to fix
root of the problem.

772c808a25 sched: Do not account bogus utime
Due to rounding in scale_stime(), for big numbers, scaled stime
values will grow in chunks. Since rtime grow in jiffies and we
calculate utime like below:

	prev->stime = max(prev->stime, stime);
	prev->utime = max(prev->utime, rtime - prev->stime);

we could erroneously account stime values as utime. To prevent
that only update prev->{u,s}time values when they are smaller
than current rtime.

55eaa7c1f5 sched: Avoid cputime scaling overflow
Here is patch, which adds Linus's cputime scaling algorithm to the
kernel.

This is a follow up (well, fix) to commit
d9a3c9823a ("sched: Lower chances
of cputime scaling overflow") which commit tried to avoid
multiplication overflow, but did not guarantee that the overflow
would not happen.

Linus crated a different algorithm, which completely avoids the
multiplication overflow by dropping precision when numbers are
big.

It was tested by me and it gives good relative error of
scaled numbers. Testing method is described here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136733059505406&w=2

e614b3332a sched/cputime: Fix accounting on multi-threaded processes
Recent commit 6fac4829 ("cputime: Use accessors to read task
cputime stats") introduced a bug, where we account many times
the cputime of the first thread, instead of cputimes of all
the different threads.

d9a3c9823a sched: Lower chances of cputime scaling overflow
Some users have reported that after running a process with
hundreds of threads on intensive CPU-bound loads, the cputime
of the group started to freeze after a few days.

This is due to how we scale the tick-based cputime against
the scheduler precise execution time value.

We add the values of all threads in the group and we multiply
that against the sum of the scheduler exec runtime of the whole
group.

This easily overflows after a few days/weeks of execution.

A proposed solution to solve this was to compute that multiplication
on stime instead of utime:
   62188451f0
   ("cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling")

The rationale behind that was that it's easy for a thread to
spend most of its time in userspace under intensive CPU-bound workload
but it's much harder to do CPU-bound intensive long run in the kernel.

This postulate got defeated when a user recently reported he was still
seeing cputime freezes after the above patch. The workload that
triggers this issue relates to intensive networking workloads where
most of the cputime is consumed in the kernel.

To reduce much more the opportunities for multiplication overflow,
lets reduce the multiplication factors to the remainders of the division
between sched exec runtime and cputime. Assuming the difference between
these shouldn't ever be that large, it could work on many situations.

This gets the same results as in the upstream scaling code except for
a small difference: the upstream code always rounds the results to
the nearest integer not greater to what would be the precise result.
The new code rounds to the nearest integer either greater or not
greater. In practice this difference probably shouldn't matter but
it's worth mentioning.

If this solution appears not to be enough in the end, we'll
need to partly revert back to the behaviour prior to commit
     0cf55e1ec0
     ("sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()")

Back then, the scaling was done on exit() time before adding the cputime
of an exiting thread to the signal struct. And then we'll need to
scale one-by-one the live threads cputime in thread_group_cputime(). The
drawback may be a slightly slower code on exit time.

9fbc42eac1 cputime: Dynamically scale cputime for full dynticks accounting
The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either
using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way
the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based
solution.

This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and
need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to
improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING,
now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic
off-case as well.

We use sched_clock() to perform and fixup the cputime

from the read side, which trigger the bug above.

To fix this up, use local_clock() instead. It takes care of
preemption and also provide a more reliable clock source. This
is welcome for this kind of statistic that is widely relied on
in userspace.

3f4724ea85 cputime: Allow dynamic switch between tick/virtual based cputime accounting
Allow to dynamically switch between tick and virtual based
cputime accounting. This way we can provide a kind of "on-demand"
virtual based cputime accounting. In this mode, the kernel relies
on the context tracking subsystem to dynamically probe on kernel
boundaries.

This is in preparation for being able to stop the timer tick in
more places than just the idle state. Doing so will depend on
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which makes it possible to account
the cputime without the tick by hooking on kernel/user boundaries.

Depending whether the tick is stopped or not, we can switch between
tick and vtime based accounting anytime in order to minimize the
overhead associated to user hooks.

abf917cd91 cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting
If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.

Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.

However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.

This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.

There are some upsides of doing this:

- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).

- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.

And one downside:

- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

ae8dda5c47 cputime: Move default nsecs_to_cputime() to jiffies based cputime file
If the architecture doesn't provide an implementation of
nsecs_to_cputime(), the cputime accounting core uses a
default one that converts the nanoseconds to jiffies. However
this only makes sense if we use the jiffies based cputime.

For now it doesn't matter much because this API is only
called on code that uses jiffies based cputime accounting.

But the code may evolve and this API may be used more
broadly in the future. Keeping this default implementation
around is very error prone as it may introduce a bug and
hide it on architectures that don't override this API.

Fix this by moving this definition to the jiffies based
cputime headers as it is the only place where it belongs to.

62188451f0 cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling
We scale stime, utime values based on rtime (sum_exec_runtime
converted to jiffies). During scaling we multiple rtime * utime,
which seems to be fine, since both values are converted to u64,
but it's not.

Let assume HZ is 1000 - 1ms tick. Process consist of 64 threads,
run for 1 day, threads utilize 100% cpu on user space. Machine
has 64 cpus.

Process rtime = utime will be 64 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 jiffies,
which is 0x149970000. Multiplication rtime * utime result is
0x1a855771100000000, which can not be covered in 64 bits.

Result of overflow is stall of utime values visible in user
space (prev_utime in kernel), even if application still consume
lot of CPU time.

A solution to solve this is to perform the multiplication on
stime instead of utime. It's easy to grow the utime value fast
with a CPU bound thread in userspace for example. Now we assume
that doing so with stime is much harder. In most cases a task
shouldn't ever spend much time in kernel space as it tends to
sleep waiting for jobs completion when they take long to
achieve. IO is the typical example of that.

Hence scaling the cputime by performing the multiplication on
stime instead of utime should considerably reduce the chances of
an overflow on most workloads.

e80d0a1ae8 cputime: Rename thread_group_times to thread_group_cputime_adjusted
We have thread_group_cputime() and thread_group_times(). The naming
doesn't provide enough information about the difference between
these two APIs.

To lower the confusion, rename thread_group_times() to
thread_group_cputime_adjusted(). This name better suggests that
it's a version of thread_group_cputime() that does some stabilization
on the raw cputime values. ie here: scale on top of CFS runtime
stats and bound lower value for monotonicity.

a634f93335 cputime: Move thread_group_cputime() to sched code
thread_group_cputime() is a general cputime API that is not only

1017769bd0 vtime: No need to disable irqs on vtime_account()
vtime_account() is only called from irq entry. irqs
are always disabled at this point so we can safely
remove the irq disabling guards on that function.

e3942ba040 vtime: Consolidate a bit the ctx switch code
On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists
in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few
arch housekeeping.

Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is
a special case because pending user and system time accounting
there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.

fd25b4c2f2 vtime: Remove the underscore prefix invasion
Prepending irq-unsafe vtime APIs with underscores was actually
a bad idea as the result is a big mess in the API namespace that
is even waiting to be further extended. Also these helpers
are always called from irq safe callers except kvm. Just
provide a vtime_account_system_irqsafe() for this specific
case so that we can remove the underscore prefix on other
vtime functions.

3e1df4f506 cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime
vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
the second case it only handles irq time accounting.

So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.

11113334d1 vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafe
vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with
vtime_account() which is irq safe.

Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where
irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime.

So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".

vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.

a7e1a9e3af vtime: Consolidate system/idle context detection
Move the code that finds out to which context we account the
cputime into generic layer.

Archs that consider the whole time spent in the idle task as idle
time (ia64, powerpc) can rely on the generic vtime_account()
and implement vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle(),
letting the generic code to decide when to call which API.

Archs that have their own meaning of idle time, such as s390
that only considers the time spent in CPU low power mode as idle
time, can just override vtime_account().

bf9fae9f5e cputime: Use a proper subsystem naming for vtime related APIs
Use a naming based on vtime as a prefix for virtual based
cputime accounting APIs:

- account_system_vtime() -> vtime_account()
- account_switch_vtime() -> vtime_task_switch()

It makes it easier to allow for further declension such
as vtime_account_system(), vtime_account_idle(), ... if we
want to find out the context we account to from generic code.

This also make it better to know on which subsystem these APIs
refer to.
