Sure. task 26281 is the task with this problem, and we bound it to cpu0,
and it's SMT sibling is running stress-ng -c 1.

[root@localhost 26281]# cat ./sched |grep -E
"forceidle|sum_exec_runtime" && cat /proc/stat |grep cpu0 && echo "" &&
sleep 10 && cat ./sched |grep -E "forceidle|sum_exec_runtime" && cat
/proc/stat |grep cpu0
se.sum_exec_runtime                          :          3353.788406
core_forceidle_sum                           :          4522.497675
core_forceidle_task_sum                      :          3354.383413
cpu0 1368 74 190 87023149 1 2463 3308 0 0 0

se.sum_exec_runtime                          :          3952.897106
core_forceidle_sum                           :          5311.687917
core_forceidle_task_sum                      :          3953.571613
cpu0 1368 74 190 87024043 1 2482 3308 0 0 0


As we can see from the data, se.sum_exec_runtime increased by 600ms,
core_forceidle_sum(using rq_clock) increased by 790ms,
and core_forceidle_task_sum(using rq_clock_task, which subtracts irq
time) increased by 600ms, closing to sum_exec_runtime.

As for the irq time from /proc/stat, irq time increased by 19 ticks,
190ms, closing to the difference of increment of core_forceidle_sum and
se.sum_exec_runtime.

Sure, in the next version, I will update the document.
