sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()
This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing described in the thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522 Now cputime is accounted in the following way: - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt). - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time, after adjusted by task_times(). - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time in signal struct of the group's parent. So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while {u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values. And accounted values are used by: - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread: This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS. - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group: This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group. The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(), because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value: group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time) This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity. Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g. -5ms). To fix this, we could do: group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time) But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for every thread should be avoided. This patch fixes the above problem in the following way: - Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times(). It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead of adjusted values. As the result it makes thread_group_cputime() to return pure sum of "raw" values. - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime) that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted" values, in same calculation procedure as task_times(). - Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced thread_group_times(). It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to have adjusted values like before this patch. - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times(). This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted" cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it. (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.) This patch have a positive side effect: - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime), {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0. After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is applied after accumulated. v2: - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.
