Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] sched/cputime: sum_exec_runtime fixes for 32-bit cpus

Optimize read_sum_exec_runtime() on 32-bit cpus by taking only p->pi_lock
and use above function to protect reads of 64bit sum_exec_runtime on
other places on 32 bit architectures.

Stanislaw Gruszka (2):
  sched/cputime: Use only pi_lock to protect sum_exec_runtime read
  sched/cputime: Protect other sum_exec_runtime reads on 32 bit cpus
