People report that utime and stime from /proc/<pid>/stat become very wrong when the numbers are big enough, especially if you watch these counters incrementally. Specifically, the current implementation of: stime*rtime/total, results in a saw-tooth function on top of the desired line, where the teeth grow in size the larger the values become. IOW, it has a relative error. The result is that, when watching incrementally as time progresses (for large values), we'll see periods of pure stime or utime increase, irrespective of the actual ratio we're striving for. Replace scale_stime() with a math64.h helper: mul_u64_u64_div_u64() that is far more accurate. This also allows architectures to override the implementation -- for instance they can opt for the old algorithm if this new one turns out to be too expensive for them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
