We use per-cgroup cpu usage statistics similar to "cgroup rstat",
and encountered a problem that user and sys usages are wrongly
split sometimes.
Run tasks with some random run-sleep pattern for a long time, and
when tick-based time and scheduler sum_exec_runtime hugely drifts
apart(scheduler sum_exec_runtime is less than tick-based time),
the current implementation of cputime_adjust() will produce less
sys usage than the actual use after changing to run a different
workload pattern with high sys. This is because total tick-based
utime and stime are used to split the total sum_exec_runtime.
Same problem exists on utime and stime from "/proc/<pid>/stat".
[Example]
Run some random run-sleep patterns for minutes, then change to run
high sys pattern, and watch.
1) standard "top"(which is the correct one):
4.6 us, 94.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 0.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
2) our tool parsing utime and stime from "/proc/<pid>/stat":
20.5 usr, 78.4 sys
We can see "20.5 usr" displayed in 2) was incorrect, it recovers
gradually with time: 9.7 usr, 89.5 sys
This patch fixes the issue by calculating using all kinds of time
elapsed since last parse in cputime_adjust(), and accumulate the
corresponding results calculated into prev_cputime. A new field
of task_cputime type is added in structure prev_cputime to record
previous task_cputime so that we can get the elapsed time deltas.
