Add include asm/paravirt.h to cputime.c, as steal_account_process_tick
calls paravirt_steal_clock, which is defined in asm/paravirt.h.
The ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT is necessary because not all archs have an
asm/paravirt.h to include.
The reason why currently cputime.c compiles, even though include
<asm/paravirt.h> is missing, is that on x86 asm/paravirt.h is included
by one of the other headers included in kernel/sched/cputime.c:
On arm and arm64, where I am about to introduce asm/paravirt.h and
stolen time support, without #include <asm/paravirt.h> in cputime.c, I
would get an error.

The cputime can only be updated by the current task itself, even in
vtime case. So we can safely use seqcount instead of seqlock as there
is no writer concurrency involved.

Readers need to know if vtime runs at all on some CPU somewhere, this
is a fast-path check to determine if we need to check further the need
to add up any tickless cputime delta.
This fast path check uses context tracking state because vtime is tied
to context tracking as of now. This check appears to be confusing though
so lets use a vtime function that deals with context tracking details
in vtime implementation instead.

When a task runs on a housekeeper (a CPU running with the periodic tick
with neighbours running tickless), it doesn't account cputime using vtime
but relies on the tick. Such a task has its vtime_snap_whence value set
to VTIME_INACTIVE.
Readers won't handle that correctly though. As long as vtime is running
on some CPU, readers incorretly assume that vtime runs on all CPUs and
always compute the tickless cputime delta, which is only junk on
housekeepers.
So lets fix this with checking that the target runs on a vtime CPU through
the appropriate state check before computing the tickless delta.

VTIME_SLEEPING state happens either when:
1) The task is sleeping and no tickless delta is to be added on the task
cputime stats.
2) The CPU isn't running vtime at all, so the same properties of 1) applies.
Lets rename the vtime symbol to reflect both states.

There is an extra cost in task_cputime() and task_cputime_scaled() when
nohz_full is not activated. When vtime accounting is not enabled, we
don't need to get deltas of utime and stime under vtime seqlock.
This patch removes that cost with adding a shortcut route if vtime
accounting is not enabled.
Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on
some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless cputime delta.

/proc/stats shows invalid gtime when the thread is running in guest.
When vtime accounting is not enabled, we cannot get a valid delta.
The delta is calculated with now - tsk->vtime_snap, but tsk->vtime_snap
is only updated when vtime accounting is runtime enabled.
This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime without computing the
buggy non-existing tickless delta when vtime accounting is not enabled.
Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on
some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless delta. This
way we fix the gtime value regression on machines not running nohz full.
The kernel config contains CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=n and boot without nohz_full.
I ran and stop a busy loop in VM and see the gtime in host.
Dump the 43rd field which shows the gtime in every second:

While the current code guarantees monotonicity for stime and utime
independently of one another, it does not guarantee that the sum of
both is equal to the total time we started out with.
This confuses things (and peoples) who look at this sum, like top, and
will report >100% usage followed by a matching period of 0%.
Rework the code to provide both individual monotonicity and a coherent
sum.

The sig->stats_lock nests inside the tasklist_lock and the
sighand->siglock in __exit_signal and wait_task_zombie.
However, both of those locks can be taken from irq context,
which means we need to use the interrupt safe variant of
read_seqbegin_or_lock. This blocks interrupts when the "lock"
branch is taken (seq is odd), preventing the lock inversion.
On the first (lockless) pass through the loop, irqs are not
blocked.

The functions task_cputime_adjusted and thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
can be called locklessly, as well as concurrently on many different CPUs.
This can occasionally lead to the utime and stime reported by times(), and
other syscalls like it, going backward. The cause for this appears to be
multiple threads racing in cputime_adjust(), both with values for utime or
stime that is larger than the original, but each with a different value.
Sometimes the larger value gets saved first, only to be immediately
overwritten with a smaller value by another thread.
Using atomic exchange prevents that problem, and ensures time
progresses monotonically.

Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.
The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).
Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.
This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.
In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().
This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to:
for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++)
irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq);
It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle
functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying
attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cefa ("sched:
Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat")
So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at
once.
As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context
wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these
back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all
kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does
not make sense at all for fine grained accounting. Frederic, can you
please take care of that?

Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main purpose is to fix a full dynticks bug related to
virtualization, where steal time accounting appears to be zero in
/proc/stat even after a few seconds of competing guests running busy
loops in a same host CPU. It's not a regression though as it was
there since the beginning.
The other commits are preparatory work to fix the bug and various
cleanups"
* 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
arch: Remove stub cputime.h headers
sched: Remove needless round trip nsecs <-> tick conversion of steal time
cputime: Fix jiffies based cputime assumption on steal accounting
cputime: Bring cputime -> nsecs conversion
cputime: Default implementation of nsecs -> cputime conversion
cputime: Fix nsecs_to_cputime() return type cast
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

current rtime is smaller than previous rtime) and that should be
debugged and fixed.
But since problem did not manifest itself before commit

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.

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:

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.

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
accounting. However we are calling it with preemption enabled
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.

Typical cputime stats infrastructure relies on the timer tick and
its periodic polling on the CPU to account the amount of time
spent by the CPUs and the tasks per high level domains such as
userspace, kernelspace, guest, ...
Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on
Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation.
This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend
on the timer tick.
To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into
kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and
flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty
much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location
and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read
side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless

Merge tag 'full-dynticks-cputime-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into sched/core
Pull full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed and
receives no timer IRQs) preparation changes that convert the
cputime accounting code to be full-dynticks ready,
from Frederic Weisbecker:
"This implements the cputime accounting on full dynticks CPUs.
Typical cputime stats infrastructure relies on the timer tick and
its periodic polling on the CPU to account the amount of time
spent by the CPUs and the tasks per high level domains such as
userspace, kernelspace, guest, ...
Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on
Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation.
This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend
on the timer tick.
To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into
kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and
flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty
much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location
and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read
side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless
cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to
return the correct result to the user."

While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a
full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields
of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those
of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and
we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot.
To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on
kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context
where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current
time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times()
accessors.

Do some ground preparatory work before adding guest_enter()
and guest_exit() context tracking callbacks. Those will
be later used to read the guest cputime safely when we
run in full dynticks mode.

This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
since its last cputime snapshot.
