The code performing irqtime nsecs stats flushing to kcpustat is roughly
the same for hardirq and softirq. So lets consolidate that common code.

Commit:
d670ec1317 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles")
started accounting thread group tasks pending runtime in thread_group_cputime().
Another commit:
6e998916df ("sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency")
updated scheduler runtime statistics (call update_curr()) when reading task pending
runtime. Those changes cause bad performance of SYS_times() and
SYS_clock_gettimes(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) syscalls, especially on
larger systems with many CPUs.
While we would like to have cpuclock monotonicity kept i.e. have
problems fixed by above commits stay fixed, we also would like to have
good performance.
However when we notice that change from commit d670ec1317 is not
longer needed to solve problem addressed by that commit, because of
change from the second commit 6e998916df, we can get room for
optimization. Since we update task while reading it's pending runtime
in task_sched_runtime(), clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) will
see updated values and on testcase from d670ec1317 process cpuclock
will not be smaller than thread cpuclock.
I tested the patch on testcases from commits d670ec1317,
6e998916df and some other cpuclock/cputimers testcases and
did not found cpuclock monotonicity problems or other malfunction.
This patch has the drawback that we will not provide thread group cputime
up-to-date to the last moment. For example when arming cputime timer,
we will arm it with possibly a bit outdated values and that timer will
trigger earlier compared to behaviour without the patch. However that
was the behaviour before d670ec1317 commit (kernel v3.1) so it's
unlikely to affect applications.
Patch improves related syscall performance, as measured by Giovanni's
benchmarks described in commit:
6075620b05 ("sched/cputime: Mitigate performance regression in times()/clock_gettime()")
The benchmark results are:

Commit:
5743021831 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")
... fixed a bug but also triggered a regression:
On an i5 laptop, 4 pCPUs, 4vCPUs for one full dynticks guest, there are four
CPU hog processes(for loop) running in the guest, I hot-unplug the pCPUs
on host one by one until there is only one left, then observe CPU utilization
via 'top' in the guest, it shows:
100% st for cpu0(housekeeping)
75% st for other CPUs (nohz full mode)
However, w/o this commit it shows the correct 75% for all four CPUs.
When a guest is interrupted for a longer amount of time, missed clock ticks
are not redelivered later. Because of that, we should not limit the amount
of steal time accounted to the amount of time that the calling functions
think have passed.
However, the interval returned by account_other_time() is NOT rounded down
to the nearest jiffy, while the base interval in get_vtime_delta() it is
subtracted from is, so the max cputime limit is required to avoid underflow.
This patch fixes the regression by limiting the account_other_time() from
get_vtime_delta() to avoid underflow, and lets the other three call sites
(in account_other_time() and steal_account_process_time()) account however
much steal time the host told us elapsed.

Commit:
5743021831 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")
... didn't take steal time into consideration with passing the noirqtime
kernel parameter.
As Paolo pointed out before:
| Why not? If idle=poll, for example, any time the guest is suspended (and
| thus cannot poll) does count as stolen time.
This patch fixes it by reducing steal time from idle time accounting when
the noirqtime parameter is true. The average idle time drops from 56.8%
to 54.75% for nohz idle kvm guest(noirqtime, idle=poll, four vCPUs running
on one pCPU).

by CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can safely remove it.
* Without the vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled(), we no longer need to
have a vtime_common_account_irq_enter() indirect function.
* Move vtime_account_irq_enter() implementation under
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE which is the last user.
* The vtime_account_user() call was only used on irq entry for

The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not
appear to currently work right.
On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is
done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU.
On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a
while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This
can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use
the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.
Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code, and replace it with the
IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code, when selected as a config option by the user.

Currently, if there was any irq or softirq time during 'ticks'
jiffies, the entire period will be accounted as irq or softirq
time.
This is inaccurate if only a subset of the time was actually spent
handling irqs, and could conceivably mis-count all of the ticks during
a period as irq time, when there was some irq and some softirq time.
This can actually happen when irqtime_account_process_tick is called
from account_idle_ticks, which can pass a larger number of ticks down
all at once.
Fix this by changing irqtime_account_hi_update(), irqtime_account_si_update(),
and steal_account_process_ticks() to work with cputime_t time units, and
return the amount of time spent in each mode.
Rename steal_account_process_ticks() to steal_account_process_time(), to
reflect that time is now accounted in cputime_t, instead of ticks.
Additionally, have irqtime_account_process_tick() take into account how
much time was spent in each of steal, irq, and softirq time.
The latter could help improve the accuracy of cputime
accounting when returning from idle on a NO_HZ_IDLE CPU.
Properly accounting how much time was spent in hardirq and
softirq time will also allow the NO_HZ_FULL code to re-use
these same functions for hardirq and softirq accounting.

The pv_time_ops structure contains a function pointer for the
"steal_clock" functionality used only by KVM and Xen on ARM. Xen on x86
uses its own mechanism to account for the "stolen" time a thread wasn't
able to run due to hypervisor scheduling.
Add support in Xen arch independent time handling for this feature by
moving it out of the arm arch into drivers/xen and remove the x86 Xen
hack.

The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return
whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not.
Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in
units of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs
depending on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN.
If cputime has nsecs granularity and there is a tiny amount of
stolen time (a few nsecs, say) then we will consider the entire
tick stolen and will not account the tick on user/system/idle,
causing /proc/stats to show invalid data.
The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to accumulate
the stolen time and only account it once it's worth a jiffy.

When profiling syscall overhead on nohz-full kernels,
after removing __acct_update_integrals() from the profile,
native_sched_clock() remains as the top CPU user. This can be
reduced by moving VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity.
This will reduce timing accuracy on nohz_full CPUs to jiffy
based sampling, just like on normal CPUs. It results in
totally removing native_sched_clock from the profile, and
significantly speeding up the syscall entry and exit path,
as well as irq entry and exit, and KVM guest entry & exit.
Additionally, only call the more expensive functions (and
advance the seqlock) when jiffies actually changed.
This code relies on another CPU advancing jiffies when the
system is busy. On a nohz_full system, this is done by a
housekeeping CPU.
A microbenchmark calling an invalid syscall number 10 million
times in a row speeds up an additional 30% over the numbers
with just the previous patches, for a total speedup of about
40% over 4.4 and 4.5-rc1.
Run times for the microbenchmark:
4.4 3.8 seconds
4.5-rc1 3.7 seconds
4.5-rc1 + first patch 3.3 seconds
4.5-rc1 + first 3 patches 3.1 seconds
4.5-rc1 + all patches 2.3 seconds
A non-NOHZ_FULL cpu (not the housekeeping CPU):
all kernels 1.86 seconds

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.

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.

/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

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.

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.

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]
root 9 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcub/0]
root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
root 11 0.1 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:02 [rcuop/0]
root 12 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 21114581:35 [rcuop/1]
root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
or overflowed utime values read directly from /proc/$PID/stat

Use of a this_cpu() operation reduces the number of instructions used
for accounting (account_user_time()) and frees up some registers. This is in
the scheduler tick hotpath.

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.

If no CPU is in the full dynticks range, we can avoid the full
dynticks cputime accounting through generic vtime along with its
overhead and use the traditional tick based accounting instead.
Let's do this and nope the off case with static keys.

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.

Some generic vtime APIs check if the vtime accounting
is enabled on the local CPU before doing their work.
Some of these are not needed because all their callers already
take care of that. Let's remove the checks on these.

Optimize guest entry/exit APIs with static keys. This minimize
the overhead for those who enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL without
always using it. Having no range passed to nohz_full= should
result in the probes overhead to be minimized.
