Subject: Re: [PATCH] process cputimer is moving faster than its
corresponding clock

So at thread_group_cputimer() we initialize the cputimer->cputime state
by using thread_group_cputime() which iterates all tasks of the process
and calls task_sched_runtime() upon them (which includes the current
delta).
Upon subsequent account_group_exec_runtime() calls (from all schedule
events and timer ticks) we add the current delta to cputimer->cputime.
However since we already added the first (or part thereof) delta to the
initial state, we account this double. Thus we can be up to
NR_CPUS*TICK_NSEC ahead.
On every timer tick we evaluate the cputimer state using
cpu_timer_sample_group() which adds the current tasks delta. This can
thus be up to (NR_CPUS-1)*TICK_NSEC behind.
The combination of the timeline behind ahead and the sample being
behind make it a virtual guarantee we'll hit early by almost
2*NR_CPUS*TICK_NSEC.
This is what you've been saying right?
So how about we do not include the deltas into the initial sum, so that
we're up to NR_CPUS*TICK_NSEC behind. That way, with the sample up to
(NR_CPUS-1)*TICK_NSEC behind, we're in the order of TICK_NSEC late with
firing.
Hmm?
