fs/proc/uptime.c: Fix idle time reporting in /proc/uptime
[ Upstream commit a130e8fbc7de796eb6e680724d87f4737a26d0ac ] /proc/uptime reports idle time by reading the CPUTIME_IDLE field from the per-cpu kcpustats. However, on NO_HZ systems, idle time is not continually updated on idle cpus, leading this value to appear incorrectly small. /proc/stat performs an accounting update when reading idle time; we can use the same approach for uptime. With this patch, /proc/stat and /proc/uptime now agree on idle time. Additionally, the following shows idle time tick up consistently on an idle machine: (while true; do cat /proc/uptime; sleep 1; done) | awk '{print $2-prev; prev=$2}' Reported-by: Luigi Rizzo <lrizzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Don <joshdon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210827165438.3280779-1-joshdon@google.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
