    cputime: Safely read cputime of full dynticks CPUs · 6a61671b

    While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a
    full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields
    of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those
    of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and
    we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot.
    
    To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on
    kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context
    where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current
    time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times()
    accessors.
