commit 3d7efa4edd07be5c5c3ffa95ba63e97e070e1f3f upstream. The idle time reported in /proc/stat sometimes incorrectly contains huge values on s390. This is caused by a bug in arch_cpu_idle_time(). The kernel tries to figure out when a different cpu entered idle by accessing its per-cpu data structure. There is an ordering problem: if the remote cpu has an idle_enter value which is not zero, and an idle_exit value which is zero, it is assumed it is idle since "now". The "now" timestamp however is taken before the idle_enter value is read. Which in turn means that "now" can be smaller than idle_enter of the remote cpu. Unconditionally subtracting idle_enter from "now" can thus lead to a negative value (aka large unsigned value). Fix this by moving the get_tod_clock() invocation out of the loop. While at it also make the code a bit more readable. A similar bug also exists for show_idle_time(). Fix this is as well.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
