From 2541117b0cf79977fa11a0d6e17d61010677bd7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hiroshi Shimamoto Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:47:28 +0100 Subject: sched/cputime: Fix invalid gtime in proc /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 :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/3955/task/4014/stat; sleep 1; done S 4348 R 7064566 R 7064766 R 7064967 R 7065168 S 4759 S 4759 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 S 5338 R 5365 R 5465 R 5566 R 5666 S 5726 S 5726 Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Shimamoto Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Chris Metcalf Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Luiz Capitulino Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul E .
