Subject[Patch 6/8] virtual cpu run time
delayacct-virtcpu.patch

Distinguish between "wall-clock" and "virtual" cpu run times and return
both, at per-task and per-tgid granularity.

Some architectures adjust tsk->utime+tsk->stime to reflect the time that
the kernel wasn't scheduled in hypervised environments and this is the
"wall-clock" cpu run time. "Virtual" cpu run time, on the other hand, does
not account for the kernel being descheduled.

This patch allows the most accurate "virtual" cpu run time, collected by
the schedstats code (now shared with delay accounting code), to be returned
to user space, in addition to the "wall-clock" cpu time that was being exported
earlier. Both these times are useful for workload management in different
situations.

In a non-virtualized environment, or on architectures which do not adjust
tsk->utime/stime, these will effectively be the same value but at different
granularities.
