4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 173be9a14f7b2e901cf77c18b1aafd4d672e9d9e upstream.
Mike reports:
Roughly 10% of the time, ltp testcase getrusage04 fails:
getrusage04 0 TINFO : Expected timers granularity is 4000 us
getrusage04 0 TINFO : Using 1 as multiply factor for max [us]time increment (1000+4000us)!
getrusage04 0 TINFO : utime: 0us; stime: 179us
getrusage04 0 TINFO : utime: 3751us; stime: 0us
getrusage04 1 TFAIL : getrusage04.c:133: stime increased > 5000us:
And tracked it down to the case where the task simply doesn't get
_any_ [us]time ticks.
Update the code to assume all rtime is utime when we lack information,
thus ensuring a task that elides the tick gets time accounted.
