Grmbl. I explicitely asked to split this into timekeeping and fs
patches, no?

That allows me to pick the timekeeping patches up myself and give
Christian a stable tag to pull them from. That lets me deal with the
conflicts with other timekeeping stuff which is coming up instead of
having cross tree conflicts.

And please use 'cpu'

This needs data_race(per_cpu.....) to tell KCSAN that this is
intentionally racy.

Your previous fs specific patch has the same issue.

Right, a sum of unsigned longs really needs to be checked for being negative.

Did you lose your newline key?. Can we please not glue this together for
readability sake?

Thanks,
