[PATCH] sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. cpu hotplug

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

On cpu hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over cpu down and up. So after the cpu comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:

	 u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());
	 
	 steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;

So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per cpu stats in /proc/stat
become stale.

Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the cpu is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.

None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at cpu hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.

Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the cpu is plugged in again.

Fixes: commit e6e6685accfa "KVM guest: Steal time accounting"
Fixes: commit 095c0aa83e52 "sched: adjust scheduler cpu power for stolen time"
Fixes: commit aa483808516c "sched: Remove irq time from available CPU power"
