Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nohz: Synchronize sleep time stats with memory barriers
When some call site uses get_cpu_*_time_us() to read a sleeptime
stat, it deduces the total sleeptime by adding the pending time
to the last sleeptime snapshot if the CPU target is idle.
But this only works if idle_sleeptime, idle_entrytime and idle_active are
read and updated under some disciplined order.
This patch changes updaters to modify idle_entrytime,
{idle,iowait}_sleeptime, and idle_active exactly in this order,
with write barriers on SMP to ensure other CPUs see then in this order too.
Readers are changed read them in the opposite order, with read barriers.
When readers detect a race by seeing cleared idle_entrytime,
they retry the reads.
The "iowait-ness" of every idle period is decided at the moment it starts:
if this CPU's run-queue had tasks waiting on I/O, then this idle
period's duration will be added to iowait_sleeptime.
This, along with proper SMP syncronization, fixes the bug where iowait
counts could go backwards.
