Subject[ 07/49] sched/cputime: Do not scale when utime == 0
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>

commit 5a8e01f8fa51f5cbce8f37acc050eb2319d12956 upstream.

scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise
when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations
on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can
be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime
results in negative value.

User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME
values on ps/top, for example:

$ ps aux | grep rcu
root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcuc/0]
root 9 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcub/0]
root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
root 11 0.1 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:02 [rcuop/0]
root 12 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 21114581:35 [rcuop/1]
root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]

or overflowed utime values read directly from /proc/$PID/stat
