Frederic Weisbecker 858cf3a8c5 timers/itimer: Convert internal cputime_t units to nsec
Use the new nsec based cputime accessors as part of the whole cputime
conversion from cputime_t to nsecs.

Also convert itimers to use nsec based internal counters. This simplifies
it and removes the whole game with error/inc_error which served to deal
with cputime_t random granularity.

Frederic Weisbecker a499a5a14d sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account
The irqtime is accounted is nsecs and stored in
cpu_irq_time.hardirq_time and cpu_irq_time.softirq_time. Once the
accumulated amount reaches a new jiffy, this one gets accounted to the
kcpustat.

This was necessary when kcpustat was stored in cputime_t, which could at
worst have jiffies granularity. But now kcpustat is stored in nsecs
so this whole discretization game with temporary irqtime storage has
become unnecessary.

We can now directly account the irqtime to the kcpustat.

Frederic Weisbecker 5613fda9a5 sched/cputime: Convert task/group cputime to nsecs
Now that most cputime readers use the transition API which return the
task cputime in old style cputime_t, we can safely store the cputime in
nsecs. This will eventually make cputime statistics less opaque and more
granular. Back and forth convertions between cputime_t and nsecs in order
to deal with cputime_t random granularity won't be needed anymore.

Frederic Weisbecker 7fb1327ee9 sched/cputime: Convert kcpustat to nsecs
Kernel CPU stats are stored in cputime_t which is an architecture
defined type, and hence a bit opaque and requiring accessors and mutators
for any operation.

Converting them to nsecs simplifies the code and is one step toward
the removal of cputime_t in the core code.

Oleg Nesterov c6c70f4455 exit: fix the setns() && PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER interaction
find_new_reaper() checks same_thread_group(reaper, child_reaper) to
prevent the cross-namespace reparenting but this is not enough if the
exiting parent was injected by setns() + fork().

Suppose we have a process P in the root namespace and some namespace X.
P does setns() to enter the X namespace, and forks the child C.
C forks a grandchild G and exits.

The grandchild G should be re-parented to X->child_reaper, but in this
case the ->real_parent chain does not lead to ->child_reaper, so it will
be wrongly reparanted to P's sub-reaper or a global init.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 79c6f448c8 tracing: Fix hwlat kthread migration
The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is
pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of
running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not
change after that happens.

The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called,
but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished,
and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was
established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the
initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and
the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making
it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and
the thread failed to migrate again.
