Subject: [PATCH 13/15] sched/cputime: Provide get_cpu_[idle|iowait]_time_us() off-case
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2026 15:22:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206142245.58987-14-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206142245.58987-1-frederic@kernel.org>

The last reason why get_cpu_idle/iowait_time_us() may return -1 now is
if the config doesn't support nohz.

The ad-hoc replacement solution by cpufreq is to compute jiffies minus
the whole busy cputime. Although the intention should provide a coherent
low resolution estimation of the idle and iowait time, the
implementation is buggy because jiffies don't start at 0.

Just provide instead a real get_cpu_[idle|iowait]_time_us() offcase.
