Merge tag 'time-namespace-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull time namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"When time namespaces were introduced we missed to virtualize the
'btime' field in /proc/stat. This confuses tasks which are in another
time namespace with a virtualized boottime which is common in some
container workloads. This contains Michael's series to fix 'btime'
which Thomas asked me to take through my tree.
To fix 'btime' virtualization we simply subtract the offset of the
time namespace's boottime from btime before printing the stats. Note
that since start_boottime of processes are seconds since boottime and
the boottime stamp is now shifted according to the time namespace's
offset, the offset of the time namespace also needs to be applied
before the process stats are given to userspace. This avoids that
processes shown by tools such as 'ps' appear as time travelers in the
corresponding time namespace.
Selftests are included to verify that btime virtualization in
/proc/stat works as expected"
* tag 'time-namespace-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux:
namespace: make timens_on_fork() return nothing
selftests/timens: added selftest for /proc/stat btime
fs/proc: apply the time namespace offset to /proc/stat btime
timens: additional helper functions for boottime offset handling
