In vm_stat_account which called by mmap_region, increase total_vm, and
__acct_update_integrals may read total_vm at the same time.  This will
cause a data race which lead to undefined behaviour.  To avoid potential
bad read/write, volatile property and barrier are both used to avoid
undefined behaviour.

<title>tsacct: add 64-bit btime field</title>

As there is only a 32-bit ac_btime field in taskstat and
we should handle dates after the overflow, add a new field
with the same information but 64-bit width that can hold
a full time64_t.

<content type='text'>
In 'struct acct', 'struct acct_v3', and 'struct taskstats' we have
a 32-bit 'ac_btime' field containing an absolute time value, which
will overflow in year 2106.

There are two possible ways to deal with it:

a) let it overflow and have user space code deal with reconstructing
   the data based on the current time, or
b) truncate the times based on the range of the u32 type.

Neither of them solves the actual problem. Pick the second
one to best document what the issue is, and have someone
fix it in a future version.

Introduce a trivial, mostly empty &lt;linux/sched/cputime.h&gt; header
to prepare for the moving of cputime functionality out of sched.h.

Update all code that relies on these facilities.

Use the new nsec based cputime accessors as part of the whole cputime
conversion from cputime_t to nsecs.

<title>sched/cputime: Introduce special task_cputime_t() API to return old-typed cputime</title>

This API returns a task's cputime in cputime_t in order to ease the
conversion of cputime internals to use nsecs units instead. Blindly
converting all cputime readers to use this API now will later let us
convert more smoothly and step by step all these places to use the
new nsec based cputime.

<title>time, acct: Drop irq save &amp; restore from __acct_update_integrals()</title>

It looks like all the call paths that lead to __acct_update_integrals()
already have irqs disabled, and __acct_update_integrals() does not need
to disable irqs itself.

This is very convenient since about half the CPU time left in this
function was spent in local_irq_save alone.

Performance of a microbenchmark that calls an invalid syscall
ten million times in a row on a nohz_full CPU improves 21% vs.
4.5-rc1 with both the removal of divisions from __acct_update_integrals()
and this patch, with runtime dropping from 3.7 to 2.9 seconds.

With these patches applied, the highest remaining cpu user in
the trace is native_sched_clock, which is addressed in the next
patch.

For testing purposes I stuck a WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled()) test
in __acct_update_integrals(). It did not trigger.
