Add include asm/paravirt.h to cputime.c, as steal_account_process_tick
calls paravirt_steal_clock, which is defined in asm/paravirt.h.

The ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT is necessary because not all archs have an
asm/paravirt.h to include.

The reason why currently cputime.c compiles, even though include
&lt;asm/paravirt.h&gt; is missing, is that on x86 asm/paravirt.h is included
by one of the other headers included in kernel/sched/cputime.c:

On arm and arm64, where I am about to introduce asm/paravirt.h and
stolen time support, without #include &lt;asm/paravirt.h&gt; in cputime.c, I
would get an error.

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.

vtime_accounting_enabled() checks if vtime is running on the current CPU
and is as such a misnomer. Lets rename it to a function that reflect its
locality. We are going to need the current name for a function that tells
if vtime runs at all on some CPU.

<title>sched/cputime: Correctly handle task guest time on housekeepers</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

There is an extra cost in task_cputime() and task_cputime_scaled() when
nohz_full is not activated. When vtime accounting is not enabled, we
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.

Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on
some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless cputime delta.

<title>sched/cputime: Fix invalid gtime in proc</title>

/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-&gt;vtime_snap, but tsk-&gt;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

HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME msr used by guest to get
"the time the virtual processor consumes running guest code,
and the time the associated logical processor spends running
hypervisor code on behalf of that guest."

Calculation of this time is performed by task_cputime_adjusted()
for vcpu task.

Necessary to support loading of winhv.sys in guest, which in turn is
required to support Windows VMBus.
