Subject: [RFC][PATCH] /proc/stat idle field for idle cpus

From: Martin Schwidefsky <[email protected]>

The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus
that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook
arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a
sleeping cpu without waking the cpu.

The s390 implementation of arch_idle_time uses the already existing
s390_idle_data per_cpu variable to find the sleep time of a neighboring
idle cpu.

Looks OK to me. Please merge it via the s390 tree.

Do other architectures need to fix this?

Thanks Andrew for the quick review. Other architecture might want to
implement this as well, with tick-less the idle numbers in /proc/stat
are just way off. The implementation of the arch_idle_time is not easy
I'm afraid, the sleep time of each cpu needs to be measured in a way
that it can be read from neighbouring cpus (and it should better be a
precise). Not something I would want to have to implement for x86.
