Pull CPU runtime stats/accounting fixes from Frederic Weisbecker:
" Some users are complaining that their threadgroup's runtime accounting
freezes after a week or so of intense cpu-bound workload. This set tries
to fix the issue by reducing the risk of multiplication overflow in the
cputime scaling code. "
Stanislaw Gruszka further explained the historic context and impact of the
bug:
" Commit 0cf55e1ec0 start to use scalling
for whole thread group, so increase chances of hitting multiplication
overflow, depending on how many CPUs are on the system.
We have multiplication utime * rtime for one thread since commit
b27f03d4bd .
Overflow will happen after:
rtime * utime > 0xffffffffffffffff jiffies
if thread utilize 100% of CPU time, that gives:
rtime > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) jiffies
ritme > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) / (24 * 60 * 60 * HZ) days
For HZ 100 it will be 497 days for HZ 1000 it will be 49 days.
Bug affect only users, who run CPU intensive application for that
long period. Also they have to be interested on utime,stime values,
as bug has no other visible effect as making those values incorrect. "
