Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] cputime: Make the reported utime+stime correspond to
the actual runtime.
Sorry for the delay, I seem to have gotten distracted...

Indeed, and barring cmpxchg_double(), which is not available on all
platforms, the thing needs a lock indeed.
Now, while you're probably right in that contention is unlikely for sane
behaviour, I could imagine some perverted apps hammering
getrusage() just because they can.
Therefore, find attached a version that has a per task/signal lock.

Subject: sched,cputime: Serialize cputime_adjust()
Fredrik reports that top and other tools can occasionally observe >100%
cpu usage and reports that this is because cputime_adjust() callers are
not serialized.
This means that when the s/u-time sample values are small, and change
can shift the balance quickly, concurrent updaters can race such that
one advances stime while the other advances utime such that the sum will
be vastly larger than the initial rtime.
There is also an issue with calculating utime as rtime - stime, where is
if the computed stime is smaller then the previously returned stime,
our utime will be larger than it should be, making the above problem
worse.
