Commit:

  57430218317e ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq &amp; softirq time")

... fixed a bug but also triggered a regression:

On an i5 laptop, 4 pCPUs, 4vCPUs for one full dynticks guest, there are four
CPU hog processes(for loop) running in the guest, I hot-unplug the pCPUs
on host one by one until there is only one left, then observe CPU utilization
via 'top' in the guest, it shows:

  100% st for cpu0(housekeeping)
   75% st for other CPUs (nohz full mode)

However, w/o this commit it shows the correct 75% for all four CPUs.

When a guest is interrupted for a longer amount of time, missed clock ticks
are not redelivered later. Because of that, we should not limit the amount
of steal time accounted to the amount of time that the calling functions
think have passed.

However, the interval returned by account_other_time() is NOT rounded down
to the nearest jiffy, while the base interval in get_vtime_delta() it is
subtracted from is, so the max cputime limit is required to avoid underflow.

This patch fixes the regression by limiting the account_other_time() from
get_vtime_delta() to avoid underflow, and lets the other three call sites
(in account_other_time() and steal_account_process_time()) account however
much steal time the host told us elapsed.

Mike reports:

 Roughly 10% of the time, ltp testcase getrusage04 fails:
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  Expected timers granularity is 4000 us
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  Using 1 as multiply factor for max [us]time increment (1000+4000us)!
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  utime:           0us; stime:         179us
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  utime:        3751us; stime:           0us
 getrusage04    1  TFAIL  :  getrusage04.c:133: stime increased &gt; 5000us:

And tracked it down to the case where the task simply doesn't get
_any_ [us]time ticks.

Update the code to assume all rtime is utime when we lack information,
thus ensuring a task that elides the tick gets time accounted.

At this time the perf_addr_filter_needs_mmap() function will _not_
return true on a user space 'stop' filter.  But stop filters need
exactly the same kind of mapping that range and start filters get.

Function perf_event_mmap() is called by the MM subsystem each time
part of a binary is loaded in memory.  There can be several mapping
for a binary, many times unrelated to the code section.

Each time a section of a binary is mapped address filters are
updated, event when the map doesn't pertain to the code section.
The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map
event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code
segment.

For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library
'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code
that is in that library.  The perf cmd line for this scenario
would be:

  perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main

Resulting in binaries being mapped this way:

Before 'main()' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in
memory.  Once that has been done perf_event_mmap() has been called
4 times, with the last map starting at address 0x7fa25ce000 and
the address filter configured to start filtering when the
IP has passed over address 0x0x7fa25ce72c (0x7fa25ce000 + 0x72c).

But that is wrong since the code segment for library 'libcstest.so.1.0'
as been mapped at 0x7fa25bd000, resulting in traces not being
collected.

This patch corrects the situation by requesting that address
filters be updated only if the mapped event is for a code
segment.

Binary file names have to be supplied for both range and start/stop
filters but the current code only processes the filename if an
address range filter is specified.  This code adds processing of
the filename for start/stop filters.

Vincent reported triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in event_function_local().

While thinking through cases I noticed that by using event_function()
directly, we miss the inactive case usually handled by
event_function_call().

Therefore construct a blend of event_function_call() and
event_function() that handles the cases relevant to
event_function_local().
