Subject: [PATCH v2] cputime: fix invalid gtime
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 07:01:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7F861DC0615E0C47A872E6F3C5FCDDBD05F543FE@BPXM14GP.gisp.nec.co.jp> (raw)

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>

/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 now - tsk->vtime_snap, but tsk->vtime_snap
is only updated when vtime accounting is enabled.

This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime when vtime accounting
is not enabled.

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 :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/3955/task/4014/stat; sleep 1; done

R 7064967

During running busy loop, it returns large value.

After applying this patch, we can see right gtime.

 # while :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/10913/task/10956/stat; sleep 1; done
