From a130e8fbc7de796eb6e680724d87f4737a26d0ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Don Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2021 09:54:38 -0700 Subject: fs/proc/uptime.c: Fix idle time reporting in /proc/uptime /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 Signed-off-by: Josh Don Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210827165438.3280779-1-joshdon@google.com --- fs/proc/stat.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/proc/stat.c') diff --git a/fs/proc/stat.c b/fs/proc/stat.c index 6561a06ef905..4fb8729a68d4 100644 --- a/fs/proc/stat.c +++ b/fs/proc/stat.c @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ #ifdef arch_idle_time -static u64 get_idle_time(struct kernel_cpustat *kcs, int cpu) +u64 get_idle_time(struct kernel_cpustat *kcs, int cpu) { u64 idle; @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ static u64 get_iowait_time(struct kernel_cpustat *kcs, int cpu) #else -static u64 get_idle_time(struct kernel_cpustat *kcs, int cpu) +u64 get_idle_time(struct kernel_cpustat *kcs, int cpu) { u64 idle, idle_usecs = -1ULL; -- cgit v1.2.3
